Question
I do not fully understand the distinction made between meditation and concentration in everyday life. Concentration helps me meditate naturally in daily activities. Since zazen is distinguished as two practices, what is the difference between zazen and shikantaza? Recently I thought I understood that they were not the same in terminology and practice. Why ask this question, if not to say that zazen seems closer to meditation than shikantaza does?
