摘要
Practice is emphasized in Zen Buddhism，both practices of daily life and meditation. The external forms of Zen practice provide a container within which energy is transformed from afflicting passions to positive emotions. The daily-life practice involves following a routine，acknowledging any negative reactions that arise，and attempting to perform each task with complete awareness. Meditation offers clarification of what has arisen through the daily-life practice. An attitude of openness, or 'beginners mind' should be maintained while persisting steadily in Zen practice.
