"A prayerful vow is a vow that is not dualistic. No petitioner, nothing petitioned, no one being petitioned. A prayerful vow is a realized expression of no-self."
Daiho
from my forthcoming book, "Zen Bits."
Prayer, Enlightenment, and Zazen:
What is enlightenment if not the complete unification of all that is, was, and will be?
The highest form of prayer is that of unification with all that is.
When we sit zazen fully and completely, we attain this unification since mind and body have fallen away.
So in a very real way, prayer and zazen are the same: awakened being.
