The point of zazen

[Mp]

The purpose of Zazen is something that is ephemeral and elusive. The only think I can do in zazen is be with the moment as it is, dropping judgements (such as joyful and sad), and manifesting completeness.

Yea, brad is a great writer. The only thing I have in common with him is that we both sit at least twice a day. And that's Ok.

Kind regards. /\

Maybe there's something wrong with me.

I think being bored is a product of expecting to be entertained and having fun.

Zazen and zen are fascinating. Regarding books and reading, there's so much to learn! Yep, I'm such a nerd.

When I sit, sometimes my mind is a whirlwind of stuff. Sometimes it's quiet and still. Sometimes there's a song playing endlessly (usually metal , which I like a lot). Sometimes I'm tired and little dreams happen.

Sometimes I sit and 40 minutes go away in a heartbeat.

How can I find time to get bored?

Gassho,
