Why did I choose Soto Zen?

• Stilling the mind by "just sitting" (shikantaza) really appeals to me.
  
  
• By being still and stilling the mind, I can better "hear" and "know" the Higher Power of my understanding.
  
  
• Koan's would too easily feed my intellectual obsessions. I need to first practice being still and knowing.
  
  
• Serene Reflection Meditation
  
  
• "God Given" in Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
