Another worthy koan, though I think a cleaner form would be:
chris, if [you agree with Bill!'s formulation that] zen is "Just
THIS!", why do zazen?
(Bearing in mind that you do not do zazen, zazen does the sitter.).
I continue to sit because I am human. I presume your experience of
Zen training left you with a different perspective.
It is pretty much why I apologize when I step on a person's foot, or
why I put dirty laundry in the washing machine, or pick up trash that
I walk by. It fits life.
Cheers,
