LEAVE ALL STRUGGLE BEHIND (Don't Sit To Get Anything)

There's an incredible secret of zazen practice, and of living our everyday lives. Don't Sit To Get Something. Just Sit To Sit. Sit to discover what sitting really is, what you are, and what this amazing world that we're part of it. Usually, we live, or practice to achieve an end. We want to be better, smarter, more in control.  We want to hold onto which we love and refuse to allow change to be change. What a mistake! That way of living or sitting, only causes heartache and disappointment in the end. What we do not realize until we actually practice this new way of sitting, is that the more we let go of our personal demands, intentions and claims, the more we receive. That which comes to us is unexpected, delightful, and perfect in its way. Loneliness fades away as we experience our lives in an entirely different way.
