Good evening!
We have now a strong, chilly wind blowing. Shikantaza is not just simple sitting, but total sitting, settling in the dharma, resting in unconditioned peace, recognizing the ultimate truth, unmoved by the wind of karma.

Shikan-taza (只管打坐) is literally pure engagement or sincere devotion (只管) in total or straight sitting (打坐), not just casual simple sitting engaged in other things – acting, thinking, listening, etc.
