E3. Practicing Zen in Daily Life - Meido Moore

Overview
In this talk, Meido Roshi discusses methods for integrating Zen meditation and the experience of meditative absorption (samadhi) in daily activities, through the use of the body, breath, and sense.
Teacher Bio
Meido is the abbot of Korinji, a Rinzai Zen Buddhist monastery in Wisconsin, and the guiding teacher of the international Korinji Rinzai Zen Community. Meido Roshi began Zen practice in 1988 and trained under three teachers in the line of the great 20th century Rinzai master Omori Sogen Roshi.
He has completed the koan curriculum of this lineage, and in 2008 received inka shomei: recognition as an 86th-generation Zen lineage holder empowered to transmit the full range of Rinzai Zen practices. Aside from Zen, Meido is also ordained in the Mt. Koshikidake tradition of Shugendo.
He is the author of two books: The Rinzai Zen Way: A Guide to Practice and Hidden Zen: Practices for Sudden Awakening and Embodied Realization

What I do not understand is why are not people raving about the book that Meido Roshi has written "Hidden Zen?" I think it is genius.. I cannot name any other book on practice that even comes close. Thank you for that incredible book and for this talk !

You’re wrong! I am a 53-year-old American citizen who slept in Japan for over 30 years. I am a Japanese ZEN Monk graduated from the seminary, which I have been a part of for over two years. You don’t think about how you’re going to incorporate Zen into your life. You just do it. If you think about it, he will lose. Just do it! I don’t wake up at 5 o’clock every morning, and crave sitting in zazen, chanting, doing memory, work, and cleaning. I just do it! I don’t think about it. I don’t think about the pros and the cons. I just do it!
