The call to be one’s self: Reflections on Zazen

I feel fortunate to be in the Zen tradition because it provides a loose form for us to be ourselves. It says, hey--you, you who are always trying so hard...

Sit Down

Relax

Let yourself be quiet for a while

Relax

You don’t need to try to be anything else here

You don’t need to improve yourself in anyway

You can let go of all of that

Just sit

Relax

Just sit
