One of the pre-eminent values of the Noble 8-Fold Path is that it is the Essence of Earthly and Heavenly (get this) Hygiene . The Great and Venerable Zen Master, Seung Sahn, lists the 8 this way :
Right Views
Right Thoughts
Right Speech
Right Karma
Right Life
Right Practice
Right Mindfulness
Right Meditation
For the time being we MUST set these aside rather than confront them "Head On" . There IS "Daunt" with regard to this Practice, however, just reading them should ignite even a modicum of Curiosity---I need my Gentle Readers to "hold on" until I can offer REASONABLE explanations and definitions .
As far as "the body" "goes" : Daily Exercise is IMPERATIVE for a Healthy Body and a "Clear" Mind .
As far as "Time" "goes" , I offer James Brown : "Money won't change you, but TIME will take you on".
