Zen practice is a way of life. Does this life have some destination? If we answer this question using the mind of opposites, then the destination is death. Life and death. But surely this life is way more complex than this, as is death. So let’s set that approach aside and consider that life has no opposite. No destination. And from this viewpoint, what we are left with is a moment-by-moment, breath by-breath, step-by-step flow, reality of now. Zen practice helps us notice this now . Over time it strengthens an appreciation of being as is, just as we are, embedded in these once-only moments that make up the parade of our human life. Is there an opposite of just this?
