The second Field of Zen practice is Zazen. "Za" means seated, and "zen" means meditation. However, as 13th-century Zen master Dogen famously stated, "…Zazen is not meditation practice." Superficially, our Zazen may look like the meditation done in other spiritual traditions, or even in secular settings. We even call Zazen "meditation" sometimes, for convenience. However, Zazen is not meditation in the sense of a mental exercise aimed at a particular result. Zazen is our total response to life. It is the essence and enactment of our entire Zen practice.
