Bodhidharma suggests that Zen is not about forcing thoughts, analysing life, or seeking enlightenment as a distant goal. “Not thinking about anything” is not about emptiness in a void sense, but about freeing the mind from unnecessary chatter and attachment. Once you understand this, every mundane activity; walking down a street, sitting with a cup of tea, or lying under a tree, becomes a Zen act. Life itself transforms into a meditation when you are fully present. The separation between the sacred and the ordinary disappears.

No, not quite formally the meditation aspect of Zen (so-called Zazen) but I do try to understand and apply some of their principles and conecpts in my daily life. I am more into the Jnana Yoga aspects of Advaita Vedanta of Hinduism, more specifically the Nididhyasana aspect of it, my Srvana and Manana being over.
