1. zazen

Shikantaza : just sitting.

In kanji : shikan : to dedicate oneself uniquely, to give oneself entirely; ta : to touch, za : the great sitting posture.

To touch, through correct sitting, the pure, original mind that exists in each of us, often obscured by our thoughts and the emotional storms which perturb us.

"If you understand that zazen is the great gate of the law, you will be like the dragon piercing the water or the tiger re-entering the deep forest." (Master Dogen XIIIth century)
