Question
This question may seem terribly stupid, but I will ask it anyway. When you do zazen in your room and want to practice for half an hour or an hour, is there a trick for timing it other than discreetly looking at your watch or a nearby clock, or setting a timer in the next room (or timing it by burning incense sticks, which I do not do)? I end up counting breathing cycles during zazen, but doesn’t that take me radically away from the state of mind we should seek during zazen? Thank you in advance.
