The Importance of Zen Practice

Zan practice is not a technique, both Roshi capilon and Roshi Bowden always fond of saying technique are for technicians. The one I've really liked and we've heard recently is from opening the hand of thought. This thinking means to be grasping or holding onto something with our brain's conceptual hand. If we open it, that is, if we open this hand, this conceptual hand, if we don't conceive, what is in our hand falls away. So yeah, the suppressing, you can see this in the fist, you know, this is our practice right here.
