Mindfulness

[Daitetsu]

As Jundo says, as Taigu says, do what you do. No more, no less.

Thanks, Taigu, that sums it up while keeping it simple.
The thing is that sometimes I am entangling myself in so many questions, differentiations, nuances, etc. that I am more confused than before.
That's why I like zazen so much - I can drop all this mental work then...

Gassho,

I have enjoyed this thread. Reminds me of a story from Tanahashi/Schneider's 'Essential Zen':

Seung Sahn would say, "When you eat, just eat. When you read the newspaper, just read the newspaper. Don't do anything other than what you are doing."
One day a student saw him reading the newspaper while he was eating. The student asked if this did not contradict his teaching. Seung Sahn said, "When you eat and read the newspaper, just eat and read the newspaper."
