Resource for Problems
Whenever I am troubled or upset, to sit zazen is a great benefit to me. Sitting zazen lowers me into a well of patient resourcefulness, an aspect of “the hidden gem” that I wrote about in a recent essay.
As I sit, I do not deliberately think about what has upset or troubled me. I simply follow the usual zazen practice of attending to breathing and returning to it if my mind wanders. After the session, in time, I deal with my problem satisfactorily.
