This is a beautiful Zen Story which explains the philosophy Meditation.
One Zen monk, Bokuju, was asked, ”What do you do continuously?”
He said, ”I don’t do anything continuously. Whatsoever I am doing, I am doing it totally. When I am carrying water from the well, I am carrying water from the well. When I am chopping wood, I am chopping wood. When I am sleeping, I am sleeping.”
The questioner asked, ”Then what are you DOING?”
Bokuju said, ”I am not doing anything. When I am chopping wood, He is chopping wood. When I am carrying the water, He is carrying the water. And He is the water which is being carried, and He is the wood which is being chopped. Now He is and I am not! So everything has become a worship and everything has become a meditation.”
