Hi,

Iīve just begun reading Zen Mind, Beginners Mind and Shunryu Suzuki is describing the practice of zazen and he seems to emphasize that one should always follow the breath. I donīt understand, I thought he was in to shikantaza, just sitting with no object, as a Soto priest?

Or maybe Iīm wrong about there not being any points of focus in this practice, as we are using the open awareness as an "objectless object" in our way of practice. So too there can be other objects to use in this practice?
