Fitness,
It's an interesting article. Thanks for the link. I noted the
following passage:
"Qi and li (理, li, pattern) are their fundamental categories much as
matter and energy have been fundamental categories for people in the
West. Their use of qi (lifebreath) and li (pattern, regularity, form,
order) as their primary categories....."
which is more or less what I've been saying about chi (the common
substance of things) and the forms it can take on which correspond to
the discrete things ....

I thought CHI was the energy that was focused during zazen,
especially from the Dhyana Mudra over the CHI center, the navel.
