Zen is the practice of meditation as the key ingredient to awakening ones inner nature, compassion and wisdom. The practice of meditation (Zen in Japanese) as a means of attaining enlightenment was introduced, as we have seen, by the Buddha himself.
Zen : a state of calm attentiveness in which one's actions are guided by intuition rather than by conscious effort. Perhaps that is the zen of gardening—you become one with the plants, lost in the rhythm of the tasks at hand. 
Zen Can Give You More Peace, Focus, And Happiness Than You Ever Thought Possible! Have you ever wondered about the meaning of life, felt lost and confused, or simply felt depressed and cynical about how crazy the world has become? Zen is a Mahayana tradition that emphasizes simplicity, zazen meditation, nonduality, and nonconceptual understanding.

Rituals of Work and Ceremony... So basically..work hard & then play hard...and even use, but not abuse, what you choose. When you work hard all day, it's ok to take part in a ceremony (in modern day terms-party) during your non work hours..& let go a little & relax how you choose to. As long as it's not hurting anyone else...we are all adults and can make our own decisions.
When making our Zen Shop...we wanted to have different products that will help you practice the art of zen (meditation), and feeling sublime, tranquil, relaxed, and go to a different level of consciousness in your mind.
Feeling sublime is the quality of greatness, whether physical, moral, intellectual, metaphysical, aesthetic, spiritual, or artistic. The term especially refers to a greatness beyond all possibility of calculation, measurement, or limitation. Which, certain chemical & natural substances can help you with. And we celebrate that.
We want you to use our products to elevate to a higher degree of moral or spiritual purity or excellence.."let your thoughts be sublimed by a higher spirit." Our zen products will take you to another place and time of relaxation & meditation. Even our black lights and psychedellic posters and tapestries..that are widely used at rav parties..are a modern day type of the art of zen & ritual & ceremony. And even in ancient times of being "zen" included working hard during the day/week & then taking a break from that...and parties were a ritual ceremony and used for that exact thing. Parties are a modern day twist to the practice of rituals & dances/ceremonies that every society has..and using certain substances to enjoy them & let go...& trying to become one with yourself & be at peace in your own mind. Parties are an ancient ritual from the beginning of time. Of course, they have changed a lot over the years. But being "zen" in modern words...is all about a release of stress & being relaxed & having fun & letting go for awhile. And even using (but not abusing) certain types of mind altering substances. And even in ancient times parties were used for that. So let's start the party & relaxing & take a break from all the modern day stressors! And let the "zen" begin! So checkout our awesome products to help you do that!
