We can’t help but sit alongside our preconceived ideas about meditation. If we have read or heard anything about Korean Son [Jp. Zen] Buddhism, we’ll have become aware of people who have had sudden moments of enlightenment, which, unfortunately, may have planted seeds in our mind. We think, “Gosh, I hope that’s going to happen to me too!” and conjure up a picture based on what we’ve read, and assume that we’ll have those kind of breakthroughs when we practice Son.
