What is the relationship between meditation and everyday life?
What we cultivate on the meditation seat, we continue to cultivate when we leave it.
In Zazen we practise giving ourselves wholeheartedly to the breath and returning to it whenever we become distracted. In daily life practice, the activity in front of us becomes the object instead.
The two practices support one another. The steadiness cultivated in Zazen can be carried into everyday activities, while the strength we develop through daily life practice deepens our sitting practice.
