We don't know why we practice zazen, why
we have been practicing for such a long time, thousands of times practicing
zazen in this way. No one knows, but we just did. There must be some meaning.
That is why we practice zazen. But while you are doing it, you will find out
for yourself, you cannot stop the practice of zazen. This is the so-called
true practice from Buddha to us.
