However, even for the advanced Zen student, work on the meditation cushions is always being refined. It is like learning to drive a car. At first everything is mechanical and awkward. You consciously depress the clutch and shift into low, then release the clutch gradually while depressing the gas pedal, steering to stay within the white lines and to avoid other cars. There are so many things to remember and to do all at once, that at first you make mistakes and perhaps even have an accident. But when you become one with the car, you are more confident. And you become a better and better driver with experience. -- part contents for background part 22 ----- text ----- • WHOLE EARTH • LEARNING • SPIRITUAL PATHS • Buddhism -- part contents for background part 23 ----- text ----- 06052320 -- part contents for background part 30 ----- text ----- card id 85240 -- part contents for background part 31 ----- text ----- card id 69748 -- part contents for background part 32 ----- text ----- stack "WHOLE EARTH" stack "LEARNING" card id 46152 card id 50825 -- part contents for background part 27 ----- text ----- card id 50825 -- part contents for background part 28 ----- text ----- card id 62073 -- part contents for background part 29 ----- text ----- card id 19691
