Questions to Master Deshimaru

Question

What should we do to live zazen in everyday life?

Answer

You should concentrate on each act of everyday life: when you're in bed with your wife, concentrate on her. If you think about zazen just then, it's no good. Harmonize with your family; then it will follow and harmonize with you! If you feel like losing your temper, if you are carried away by your emotions, then breathe deeply as in zazen: that will be much more effective.
