Talk for Spring Practice Period
The talk focuses on the concept of Shikantaza in Zen practice, emphasizing its value as wholehearted, self-abandoning meditation pivotal in achieving the Zen ideal of Samadhi. Shikantaza requires practitioners to settle into themselves with complete commitment, throwing away all dualistic thoughts of good and bad. It is depicted as the "king of Samadhi," embodying the Buddha's wisdom that pervades the universe.
- "Kanzo Zenki" by Dogen: The text is referenced for its teachings on Shikantaza, advocating for the abandonment of dualistic thinking to attain a true state of meditation.
- Dogen's principles of Shikantaza: The practice is described as total immersion and relinquishment of self, aligning with Zen's pursuit of pure, non-discriminative meditation.
- Samadhi and the Buddha's wisdom: This concept is discussed as the ultimate goal of Shikantaza, wherein everything pervades every inch of the universe, encapsulating the essence of Zen practice.

If you do that then Your jajan must be right in the midst of the king of Sumari. At that time your jajan is called skantabha. You should check up your jajan moment after moment. whether your jajin is a fit of shikantada or not. Don't forget to examine your Dazen.
