Zen with Animals

Zen and sewing

In the Zen tradition, in addition to sitting, sewing is also an essential part of Buddhist practice.

But we do not want to criticize these courses and are open to new Zen practices. Also Plum Village, the retreat center of Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh offers new Zen practices we never have seen before, and that is

Zen with arm swinging

But with all these Zen practices, do we not approach the situation as it is in Kundalini Yoga, which offers 20 000 different exercises? And with all these practices, will we ever have a scientific proof of the effect of those?
