Summary
The most important thing of all is to practise zazen every day, regularly, some minutes each day in our daily life. Mike’s master said it is more important to practise regularly every day, because there is nothing to get: ten minutes every day is better than sixteen hours for two weeks. Everyone can do it; Mike asks us to take charge of our own sitting, and our zazen is the result of the way we live.
