If you practice our way, your mind will become calm, and you will become healthy.
So for that reason, many people are practicing zazen. But that
is not [laughs], you know, true zazen. The form they take is zazen, but the way
they practice or reason why they practice is not right. But if you know this

going round and round [laughs], seeking for something. Because you do not know
the meaning of everyday activity, you start seeking for something better.
And you are going round and round, same place, seeking for something special.----------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-01-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
