Practice

 Christians generally ask, “What do you believe?” and then maybe, “Where do you go to church?”  Zen asks, “What is your practice?” Practice is about self-revelation, illumination,  becoming all you are meant to be.  In Christianity it would be seen as “salvation.”  But Christians see salvation as something else.  You can keep a rule, believe the correct doctrine but rarely does that transform you.  Christians were slaughtered by one another in multiple European. Wars, particularly, WWI and WWII.  I see meditation as a practice that can be done by all spiritual paths.  I want to become what my God made me to be.  Yikes!  Running out of time.
