I meditate.

It's pretty great.

I shikantazate.

There isn’t one unified meditation practice, though. Many varieties, with different effect, outcomes, goals. Trance, introspection, oversight, insight, emptiness, fullness. Movement, stillness, vulnerability, strength, presence, absence, there are many practices claiming or producing meditation.

    Definitely true, you're right. But I've not heard of one that specifically aims to completely stop thoughts. And as I said, it's a common and unfortunate misconception that that's the most general goal of it.
