The question seems to be contradiction but can someone really be without any thoughts even for a single moment because even when we are thinking that we dont want any thoutghs actually we are thinking that we wont think of anything. How many of you are able to achieve not to have any other thought except this one for a long time?

If it's true as you said, I think, someone will be Buddha indeed. Zazen's purpose is no thinking and hold it for a long time so as to reach to heaven and man are one as a whole. for commone person , it's difficult to attain this step.

I can focus on a single thought...usually a visual image, which helps with meditation but to think of nothing at all would be impossible for me. My mind likes to wander so it's hard enough to keep it focused on just one thing.

Woah! This is quite difficult to attempt... I believe that through meditation one can achieve this one... But I'm not really sure though.
