Buddhist-Meditation-Systematic-and-Practical

I have read some Soto Zen patriarch's instructions, and
know from what he says that he himself could not
practice in daily life. How can such instructions lead the
West? This sort of doctrine is not a real one. First, one
should always realize oneself, then everything may be
accomplished.
Of our stages in Chan (entering into, leaving, utilizing
and finished), it is in this third stage when daily life
Chan is practiced. Without the first two, how can this
daily life Chan practice be done? One should not
deceive oneself or others in this matter.
E. Conclusion
There is no time when there is no opportunity to
practice and no place where one is without a guru. In
fact, there is no space where the grace of the Buddha is
not present. The universe is just like a great classroom;
all phenomena are our books, and all human beings are
our gurus. All sounds are incantation, all spaces are
shrines, and all times are for us to do good. If we govern
our lives very nicely, then there are many chances to
practice daily life yoga.
It is said by Confucius, "Where three people are
working, from one of them I can learn something."
(According to ancient interpretation this last word
"working" should be "walking," but I think our sense is
better.)
