Waiting for the group ahead, not disturbing the opponent&#8217;s concentration, carefully preparing the green. There is a &#8220;chain of consideration&#8221; that is separate from competitiveness. &#8220;Golf does not read other people&#8217;s minds. But it does &#8220;be considerate&#8221;. That is compassion itself.&#8221; Compassion in Buddhism is not just &#8220;kindness&#8221;. It is the power to sympathize with the suffering of others and quietly take action. For him, who has clashed with others in the music scene, golf taught him the sense of &#8220;being together without competing&#8221;.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51d86ed e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"51d86ed\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d14ae2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d14ae2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Don't chase the score.

Focus all your attention on the shot in front of you. That moment of mindlessness is the state of &#8220;Jo&#8221; in Buddhism. &#8220;Whether it&#8217;s music or a round, the moment you enter the &#8220;now,&#8221; you feel like time stops. It&#8217;s close to the &#8220;shikan&#8221; of zazen. When you hit the ball, you&#8217;re only conscious of your breathing.&#8221; From the outside, golf is just hitting the ball. But inside, it&#8217;s a dialogue between the ego, desire, and failure. And there is a quiet understanding that can only be obtained by doing it over and over again.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5405cf5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5405cf5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-825b4cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"825b4cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"707\" src=\"https:\/\/buddha-plants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/zen-golf4.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15206\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buddha-plants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/zen-golf4.png 1000w, https:\/\/buddha-plants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/zen-golf4-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/buddha-plants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/zen-golf4-768x543.png 768w, https:\/\/buddha-plants.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/zen-golf4-860x608.png 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ea2dd1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7ea2dd1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-affec82 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"affec82\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\"Flow\" may be the closest place to enlightenment\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d1632d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1d1632d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90f3c17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"90f3c17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#8220;Flow&#8221; in hip-hop, that is, the feeling of riding the beat, is connected to Buddhist &#8220;Zen meditation.&#8221; You don&#8217;t think with your head, you feel with your heart, and your body moves on its own &#8211; that unconscious zone is the same in swing and rap. &#8220;I feel like flow is the closest to enlightenment.
