Zazen lies at the heart of Buddhist practice: it is a spiritual experience, a wonderful art that opens us up to a broader dimension of our lives. That is what this book is about, and that is what it is all about. Within the Sôtô Zen tradition, whose lineage travelled through India, China and Japan before spreading to the West in the last century, zazen is without object. This means that we do not focus our mind on anything in particular, such as a deity, a mantra or a symbolic representation, nor do we reflect on any question, whether personal or doctrinal. Similarly, we do not seek to see our thoughts, nor to stop them, nor to attain purity or a specific state of consciousness. We just sit, with our bodies doing their best to maintain a correct posture. In this sense, zazen is very simple, but it is also very profound and opens us up to a broader dimension of our lives. This is what this book sets out to explore.
