I'm not trying to be judgmental. I don't mean that it's "wrong" to meditate for concrete reasons. Just that to do so is in a fundamental sense missing the point. Of course, reality transcends my notions of it. Respectfully, I must also disagree with Yasutani Roshi. The dynamic power he refers to is the energy of mindfulness. While meditation is certainly a powerful way to cultivate it, if your ability to remain mindful recedes without it, you have a problem with leaky insight, not with inadequate sitting time. With the right insight, everything becomes meditation and mindfulness a way of life. The ability to be in doing is a pretty important step along the path. I am of course not encouraging not practicing sitting. By all means, practice diligently. All the same, I have nothing against anyone practicing meditation for any reason.
