Question
I am new to meditation… Should we label our thoughts during
zazen meditation as some schools recommend—name the thoughts—or
let them flow…?
If I name them, I have something to lean on, but at the same time I am too
willful… And if I let them flow, I feel I am losing alertness…
Thank you, Master Kosen, for shedding light on this.
Best regards,
Pascal
