Zazenkai might be considered a very special day, it is also a very ordinary day. We are living our lives with more or less awareness.   We observe thoughts and experience body sensations. We touch, smell, listen, look, no different from any other day, yet on this day we take the time to be mindful of everything we do, studying the Buddha way.
