Just finished reading Nothing Special, C.J. Beck. The best book on Zen I've read so far. Just exactly what I needed at this time.
Going to try again and sit. Perhaps in two or three years from now -- July 2015 -- I will make it to next stage of Practice.
The book is so clear. Sitting is boring. I'm not supposed to get anywhere. I'm not supposed to be a calm buddha. That might happen, but it's not the goal.
Sit. Breathe. Label the thoughts. Give up hope. Surrender the "I" and "self." No good or bad. No judgements. No "I." Keep sitting.
