>Multitasking is a task like eating, walking, going to school, studying or >talking to the magistrate. This example you give is NOT multi-tasking. Multi-tasking is eating WHILE waking to school, and WHILE trying to study, and WHILE attempting to carry on a conversation with someone. Multi-tasking is sitting in a classroom and giving your teacher only 10% of your attention. By doing that you're disrespecting both your teacher and yourself. >When hunger comes, I eat my rice. >When sleep comes, I close my eyes. This is not multi-tasking. This is serial-tasking. Multi-tasking, at least the way you described it, is an attempt to maximize the QUANITY of activities you can perform. Zen practice is not concerned with QUANTIY, it's concerned with QUALITY.
