Question
I have been practicing zazen for some time.
And I feel the need to have the same state of mind in everyday life that I have when practicing zazen, because I feel it suits who I am.
But during zazen this state is natural. In everyday life, it sometimes comes on its own, but most of the time I put myself in the right conditions to reach that state of mind, and it is not yet natural and spontaneous.
Am I right to do this, or do you think I should wait for it to become more automatic?
Thank you.
