In Zen Buddhism, daily activities are not separate from spiritual practice; instead, they are the very ground where enlightenment is found. Zen emphasizes being fully present and mindful in every action, transforming mundane tasks into opportunities for awakening. This means that even seemingly simple activities like eating, cleaning, or walking can become a form of meditation, cultivating awareness and presence.
Here's a more detailed look at how Zen finds religion in daily activities:
Mindfulness in Action:
Zen encourages practitioners to pay close attention to the present moment, without judgment or distraction, while engaging in everyday tasks. This heightened awareness fosters a deeper connection with oneself and the world.
Ritual as a Tool for Presence:
Zen traditions often incorporate rituals for various activities, such as eating or cleaning. These rituals are not merely symbolic acts but rather serve as a way to cultivate focus and mindfulness, bringing a sense of reverence to even the most ordinary tasks.
"Just This" Approach:
Zen emphasizes the importance of "just this" or "just doing". This means fully immersing oneself in the task at hand, without getting lost in thoughts about the past or future. Whether it's washing dishes or preparing a meal, the focus is on the direct experience of the activity itself.
Finding the Sacred in the Mundane:
Zen teaches that the divine or ultimate reality is not something separate from the world but is present within all things. By approaching daily life with mindfulness and intention, practitioners can uncover the sacredness inherent in even the simplest of actions.
Meditation in Motion:
While Zen does incorporate formal sitting meditation (zazen), it also emphasizes the practice of "walking meditation" and other forms of mindful movement. This means that the principles of meditation can be applied to any activity, transforming it into a spiritual practice.

29.10.1997 - Interpretation of dali48 + update
There is no birth nor death to be escaped, - nor is there any supreme knowledge to be striven for ... - When the door opens at the moment of "Satori," the student does not go into trance, but in a new attitude to life - which is reflected in a picture of never-seen beauty ... - We split the world between our self-assertion against the world, the effort to make us all things submissive - and, on the other hand, the total surrender to "destiny," - the renouncement of our ability to accomplish something ourselves ... - For Zen the supernatural is natural, - for Christianity it is something that does not exist in any way ... - In Zen, there is no duality of heaven and earth, natural and supernatural, human and "God", material and spiritual, mortal and immortal ... (unknown Zenmaster)

Non-duality, in the context of Zen Buddhism, refers to the understanding that the perceived separation between subject and object, self and other, is ultimately an illusion. It's the realization that reality is a unified whole, without inherent divisions. This concept is central to Zen teachings and is often explored through meditation and contemplation.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Duality as a Construct:
Zen emphasizes that our everyday perception is based on duality – the division of experience into separate, opposing categories like good/bad, subject/object, etc.
Non-Duality as a Realization:
Non-duality is not a belief system to be adopted, but a direct experience to be realized. It's the recognition that these dualistic perceptions are mental constructs that obscure the true nature of reality.
Beyond Conceptual Understanding:
Non-duality is not a concept to be grasped intellectually, but a state of being that transcends the limitations of thought and language.
Zen and Non-Duality:
Zen Buddhism emphasizes practices like zazen (seated meditation) and koan study to help practitioners experience this non-dual reality directly.
Radical Non-Dualism in Dogen's Teachings:
Dogen, a prominent Zen master, highlighted that for him, meditation itself is enlightenment, not a means to an end. This radical stance underscores the immediacy and non-dual nature of Zen practice.
Implications of Non-Duality:
Recognizing non-duality can lead to a profound shift in perspective, fostering a sense of interconnectedness, compassion, and freedom from suffering.
