The Eightfold Path of Zen Practice

We all need instruction. We all need a little bit of a roadmap, but the problem is of course mistaking the finger for the moon. There are things that we do that are helpful, at least for most people. Chanting is one of them. Bowing is helpful. All things that help us forget ourselves and lower the mass of ego. Almost all zen centers, you'll see these. Not in everyone, not at all.
