It's also called zazen. I heard a story today. He might have told the student to make more effort herself, but he didn't say that. Zazen is the way we care for our life with all beings. I can't do it by myself.
Most people can only trust a way that they do by themselves.
But living a life that you can do by yourself is unadulterated misery. Completely trusting a way that you can't do yourself, that you do with all sentient beings, is immediate liberation. Some people say that Zen is hard to understand. And it is hard to understand, but not because it's obscure. It's hard to understand because it's like the sky.
