Zazen Is Enlightenment

"Zazen is enlightenment," said the nameless woman in my dream.

And that was it. That was all.

What is Zazen?

It's the actual sitting meditation practice of Zen Buddhism.

Dogen, who was the founder of Soto Zen (as opposed to Rinzai Zen) took the position that one doesn't "find" enlightenment through the practice of zazen, but that rather zazen is in and of itself the actuality of enlightenment.

More or less. That's my hacked rendition.
