Zen Zazen Meditation
Zen zazen meditation is upright just-sitting or breath-counting practice—posture and non-striving matter more than chasing altered states.
Zen zazen meditation is upright seated practice emphasizing posture, breath, and non-striving awareness—often in a lineage with teacher feedback (dokusan) and periodic intensive retreats (sesshin). Counting breaths or shikantaza just sitting are common forms.
Daily twenty to thirty minutes builds stability; chasing special states misses the point.
Common questions

What is the difference between zazen and mindfulness apps?
Zazen minimizes narration—you work with posture and breath directly. Apps teach guided attention; both help, but zazen favors silence and teacher correction.
