You are an idiot.
Shikantaza (只管打坐?) is a Japanese translation of a Chinese term for zazen
introduced by Rujing, a monk of the Caodong school of Zen Buddhism. In Japan,
it is associated with the Soto school.
Sōtō Zen or the Sōtō school (曹洞宗 Sōtō-shū?) is the largest of the three
traditional sects of Zen in Japanese Buddhism (the others being Rinzai and
Ōbaku). It emphasizes Shikantaza, meditation with no objects, anchors, or
content. The meditator strives to be aware of the stream of thoughts, allowing
them to arise and pass away without interference.

I love these
things that sound like 'designer', meditations or
designer martial arts techniques.
Our special tonight is shikantaza meditation, which
we will do while sitting in a modified Cheyenne sweat lodge,
which has been purified and smoked with a sandalwood
reduction incense which has been placed on hexagonal
charcoal base from a banyan tree in central
Tibet.

I'd like to know
how Curtis does this dive deep for samadhi meditation, I
have been doing some shikantaza meditation, but I just get
vibbed with the bliss I feel after a little while and then
get up and go do something else. The bliss starts after
about one minute so its like, ok I'm here now WTF do I
do? Bliss gets tiresome after a while I find. Any guidance
on that Curtis?

I
still continue to practice a sitting
meditation most days
-- not TM, not mantra-based, but eyes-closed,
dive-for-deep-samadhi meditation. I do it
because I enjoy
it, and after 20 minutes or so I feel
refreshed and
experience a clarity that I would possibly
miss if I
stopped. It's sorta like I've gone
back to the first days
of TM experience -- 20/20 meditation, done
primarily
because of its benefits in activity, not done
"for
itself." Although, to be honest, I often
don't get in two
sitting meds per day.

Another 180 - after over fifteen years of telling us
that meditation
is a fruitless effort with zero benefits. Go figure.
