Some
People think of Zen practice as a kind of therapy. That’s not
completely mistaken, of course. Yamada Koun Roshi used to say that the
practice of Zen is to forget the self in the act of uniting with
something—Mu, or breath counting, or the song of a thrush. That is
wonderful therapy. Concern about me and mine disappears.
