To you who are still dissatisfied with your zazen

[Joyo]

Thank you for posting. These sentences stuck out for me...

Living means breathing this breath right now. When it is a matter of living this fresh life, it is of course not enough to simply think about your life in your head. Instead we have got to accept it as the vigorous life that it is. Only like this will we discover an attitude and posture which is fresh and vigorous.

Sam,

I find myself judging my sitting from time to time. It's probably mostly due to the thought, "my sitting," when really it's just, "sitting." I guess the only comfort I can offer is beautiful anicca. No two sessions of Shikantaza will be exactly the same, because in a way it's not the same you practicing.

Thanks for the beautiful post John. I like the "my sitting" versus just "sitting" thing you talked about. I guess that's is the cause of all the problems.

Gassho,
Sam
