Zen Is Not Shuzen

Dogen writes that Zazen is not Shuzen, and he repeats the statement in some of his other writings. Fujita quotes his teacher Uchi Yamaroshi, or teacher in his lineage, on Taiji lineage. So it really is just sitting, as I have discussed on the podcast before. This isn't easy to grasp. It's like a magic eye puzzle with an image hidden within the pattern. But you have to experiment with the focus of your eyes and kind of cross your eyes and let go in order to see the image.
