So when you do zazen, the focus should be on the practice itself, not on what it’s gonna do for you or whether or not it’s worthwhile. Even thoughts about whether you’re doing it right are meaningless. If you find your posture slipping, straighten up. If you find your mind drifting, pull it back. Do that over and over for long enough, and it becomes a habit. And if it doesn’t, don’t worry. Just keep on keeping on. Eventually zazen gets easier. After a while you’ll even learn to enjoy it. You’ll start doing it because you want to do it.
