Interesting analogy with skydiving because freefalling doesn’t feel like freefalling. (unless you jump from a stationary helicopter). There is no sense of falling because there is no acceleration because you are already moving at the speed of the aircraft when you exit. There is something a little bit Zen about that.
Thank you Daishin for your teaching. This has helped in my understanding what shikantaza can be. 🙏
Bringing enlightenment into the present moment. YES! This is what it felt like when I was doing my best at practicing!!
After jumping out from a plane, when I noticed the space and the horison I thought "so I am this space" 😊

Very interesting! Thanks for that nuance!
Absolutely, I've felt like I'm doing it wrong. I have found myself literally talking to myself out loud or walking around instead of meditating 😭
Thanks for sharing that. You are not alone.
🙏🙏🙏
