Zazen is a particular kind of meditation, the study of the self. We tend to see body, breath, and mind separately, but in Zazen, they come together as one reality. In Zazen, we focus on the breath. The breath is life. Breath is the vital force; it is the central activity of our bodies. Mind and breath are one reality. Zazen unfolds with the process of breathing like pages in a book.
