A wonderful short talk by the great Shohaku Okumura Roshi explaining why "Zazen Is Good For Nothing," amid our lives as the Great Function of all things ...

Oh my! Thank You! This was completely resonated with me! The way he describes it truly clarified what Zazen is in comparison to other forms of meditation! I was able to truly connect with this in the sense of not having expectation in sitting.
While I have not completely committed to only sitting shikantaza Zazen, I now have much more of a fundamental distinction of the potential of sitting Zazen!

Thank you all. Found this very useful, especially sitting amongst a thunderstorm this morning and catching the birdsong, as the rain ebbed and flowed. Thought I was letting things pass by but occasionally found I'd become tangled in the passing drama. Sometimes its not so easy to let go but again I've only been sitting for 600 days or so.
