Everyday Life and Relationships (What is Zen? Chapter 12)

Jikai Vicki Turay explores how, though much of practice appears to be solitary, zen is primarily based in relationships.

“Formal Zen practice that of meditation, teachings, rituals serve as a training ground.  Those activities support and encourage the actual practice - which happens all the time, in your own life, in your every encounter with others, in your heart and mind.” (Zoketsu Norman Fischer)
