my favorite is: “All practice is the practice of making a turn in a different direction.”

awesome. I should have seen that. It’s funny. I rail against zen ritualism in my blog, today even, and then I’m guilty of s form of it myself. Like I said in my post today even Dogen was afflicted by the attachement to being Zen.

One of the hardest attachments to break is the attachment to your Pratice and the trappings of it.

One more thing to rinse, indeed.

Thank you Joan. The Zen of no-Zen is Zen. And it takes the guesswork out of it.

I’m guessing:
“The book wears its Zen lightly;”
In the same way “Your life is your practice”, the entire content of the book is the Zen.

My guess would be:

“Miller uses daily household chores—laundry, kitchen, yard—to demonstrate timeless Buddhist principles”

At least that would the line that thrilled me but maybe I’m too attached to the idea of being considered Buddhist or Zen by others.
