I used to be an extremely depressed person. A couple years ago I was on so much medication that I could open my own pharmacy. This past year I have gotten into Zen Buddhism. I have no need for the medicine anymore and no longer have to go to a therapist. Learning Zen has made me a much calmer person. I have learned to live every moment of conscious life to the fullest. I learned to let go and move on. So anything that used to get me to break down, is nothing to me now. I don’t cry anymore, as opposed to pre-Zen days when I would cry EVERY single day…not exaggerating. I have become very accepting of the people and events that take place in my life. I have never been genuinely happier. And everyday is new for me just by thinking about ‘beginners mind’. I put up this question to see if anyone else has had their life changed because of practicing the Zen?
