Over and Over

Most of us are practicing our way like a blind man. That is why we have to start our practice over and over. You think you are practicing real zazen, but it may not be so. So, if you notice that you haven’t been practicing true zazen, you have to start practicing true zazen again. And over and over, we have to start our zazen, because we are always liable to practice zazen like a blind man.
