What is Zazen ?
Zazen is the last bastion of honesty in my life.
Even if I ignore it,
If I lose myself in the voluntary infatuation of my passions,
In social shows,
In anxious constraints,
Even if I forget it, abandon it, turn away from it,
Zazen remains the last bastion of honesty.
Always ready to welcome me, to offer me a refuge.
I wonder if this linguistic artifice,
Is not like what creates the God we are talking about.
God is Zazen put into words.
Zazen is God’s quietness

Levels of understanding. Levels of perception.
In an ideal state, perhaps.
