> but that’s very different to living that way all the time (which is impossible unless you’re some kind of psycho to begin with).

If you are not trying to do zazen off the cushion you aren't putting in right effort. You should be aiming to manifest non-discriminating mind at all times



I disagree about right effort, but I’m just an amateur anyway so don’t listen to me :)

I don’t think this means you dont feel sad or angry or even jealous or anything else. It means, when you’re sad, just be sad. Don’t be too sad about being sad.. :)


You should always be practising.

As for the other stuff, it's about not identifying with your thoughts. Sad thoughts can still arise, you just don't grab it and say "that's me"
