Hello everyone,
I know it is a very general topic. I apologize for it.
I have been practicing and trying different traditions for about two years (mindfulness, vipassana, korean zen whadu, shikantaza). In recent months I have focused on Zen practice, but jumping from shikantaza to whadu practice every few days. For some reason, I can't decide which practice I must follow regularly. I continually have doubts because I do not know how to decide between the practice that I think I should continue to be more consistent with my need to let go of my tendency to control and 'wanting things' (shikantaza) and the practice that, in the short term, relaxes me and makes me 'feel better' and less anxious (whadu). It is a doubt that begins to torture me.
How can one choose the practice to commit to?
How can I break the circle of doubts and constant changes of practice?
Thank you in advance.
V.
