Hello SA. Good to see your post. You've been missed. > Meditation is an event in which somebody is focused upon something. > Zazen is sitting that involves awareness and alertness.

Zazen sounds like an "Everything Belongs" approach to prayer. Pay attention. Be present. And that which had been hiding in plain sight become "visible." I've heard it called a spirituality of subtraction, a la Meister Eckhart. I've also come to see that these practices are meaningless without a complementary active involvment in personal relationships, community, the world, etc. Sounds like you've found the same thing. Peace,
