Rev ito talked about "zazaen to start with zazen manner".
This is Teisho from our weekly zazen sitting at Hakone Gardens. Zengo are given as part of the"teisho" (teaching) at the end of the zazen period. The phrases are meant to encourage students to deepen their own understanding of the meaning by opening "shin" (heart/mind).
