My Zazen Challenge

[Guest]

Re: My Zazen Challenge

I just looked back and realized I posted "10/365" twice on consecutive days and then 12/365 two days later. So, I'm not sure how many days I've done and instead of spending any time figuring that out, I'm going to go sit.

Ya know ...

really ... each and every sitting is also and always 1/1. Always will be too, no matter how many.

So, let's all not be too much into counting and keeping score even as the days pass.

Thanks Jundo. I purposely avoided this challenge because I know my personality all too well. Glad to see all who are sitting but I know my goal-oriented mind and it would have been a hang-up for me...maybe I should sit with that. :roll:

I agree with Dokan I'd probably be the same. I'd be sitting for the challenge rather than sitting just for sitting, I had a similar issue when I starting using insight timer.

I have begun to feel this way as the days have passed even though it has helped me get to the cushion during a tough time, but I did want to offer support to those sitting. However, you are quite right, there is really no reason to keep score and unintentionally cling to those numbers.

Re: My Zazen Challenge

I like it Jundo. Easier to keep track when it's always 1/1.

I think I'm backing out of the challenge for this reason. Dosho, in the same way you wanted to offer support, so did/do I. But I'm not really posting here anyway, and it's beginning to seem strange that my zazen is a number. So anyway, I'm gone, but wish everyone else a lovely practice.
