Siska,
Yes, sitting and everything else. There are some 8 or ten formal practices
that I could mention immediately if you asked, and some others that I'd come up
with after about a minute or two of head-scratching.
But if you add other things in, too, like brushing one's teeth, the practices
become really numerous. ;-)
Koans, though -- like the "Mu" that you were talking about -- are really only
practiced with a teacher; koan-study, or koan-practice, is, in fact, a study
between a student and a teacher. I know of no one who does not do it in this
way. But my exposure within zen circles is within the formal scene, not the
renegade or maverick scene, if there is any such scene. Maybe I just need to
get out, more. ;-)
