Re: Glasses

For all of you who wear glasses.
do you sit with your glasses on or off?

I leave them on. Since I am blind as a bat with out them and we have walking meditation in between meditation, I don't wan to a) bump into somebody or b) step on something I wasn't able to see in front of me (pebble, etc). So. I leave them on.

Oh, if your Zazen were truly mature, you would be able to see all this without eyes!

What a trip down memory lane!
As a child those flashback scenes were my favorite part of the show. Haven't seen it in decades but was reminded by this clip how surprisingly good they were :shock:

Gassho,

P.S. In the 80's when the movie Karate Kid came out I also longed to have that Mr. Miyagi type master :lol:

Re: Glasses

I didnt know it will generate such a response rate.

i dont always wear glasses, i used to wear them just for lessons where i sat far and couldnt tell very clearly what was written and had to strain my eyes to see. but lately i started wearing glasses quite often. i wear them almost everywhere except for work since i use protective glasses and they dont fit together.

but as for zazen i still havent sat with glasses on. but i think i will give it a try and report back.

Gassho, Dojin.

Re: Glasses

I usually keep mine on. Never gave it much thought. sometimes they can get uncomfortable. Especially if i have had my headphones on too long because the press tightly into my head and push the frames into the skin harder so after a bit, yeah can be uncomfy.

But i've honestly never given thought to whether they should or shouldn't be worn.
