52of 108

Zazen is a state of 'deep unoccupiedness,' where one simply sits without trying to do anything.

Sit facing a non-exciting view, such as a plain wall, with a diffuse, unfocused gaze... Let the breathing be completely natural. Do not do it; allow it to happen... Keep the body as immobile as possible... A still body helps to quiet the mind automatically... Simply sit without trying to do anything... Continue for 20 minutes.
