What are you? If you keep this question you are already practicing Zen. If you lose this question, you lose your life. All the forms used in Zen practice are training in keeping this great question alive. When you bow, who is bowing? When you sit, what is it that is sitting? If you persist in this kind of practice your mind becomes clear and can open up to its original luminous nature. When that happens you fall deeply in love with this world. Then, moment to moment, you can see how to help all beings. That is your original job. That is Zen mind. If you want to bring forth that mind, you are welcome to practice in the tradition of Shakyamuni Buddha, of Boddhidharma, and of all our ancestors in China and Korea and America who have brought Zen Buddhism to our door.
