Question

Hello, I found Zen and I heard about what that is, but I do not understand. At first, I understood that it was a practice. Then I read that it was to follow or to count the breathings with your back straight. Then I understood that it was nothing special, then something very special. Now I would like to have read anything at all. We would not say that I manage to do something with all this. But we would not say either that I am going to abandon. Maybe because the rest of my life annoys me so much. Having counted my breathings, somebody said: "to count the breathings is not so important, but wonder "who" is counting the breathings." Now, Zen has just became as boring as any other part of my life. I had never thought of these things previously, and now I am not able to stop any more. What can I do? I have a disease of very seriousZen. I thought that I should ask somebody who knows.

Thanks

It is because the root of your faith is insignificant That appears in your mind the impulse to pack up your stuff And run on the trails to wander in far places.
