I kind of disagree with the great Brad... Sitting -Zen would be "A kind of way of looking at reality"? No, because reality is always as is, looking at it in certain way makes it unreal. It could be "Reality watching itself, reality watching you". Brad could have phrased it differently like:"
A way to look at illusion, or self-delusion".
Just a deluded thought, anyway.

As Hongzhi (trans. Yi Wu), explained, "The practice of true reality is simply to sit serenely in silent introspection." "True reality" must be practiced and enacted, not looked at; indeed, there is no way of "looking at" reality or anything else without introducing the fatal gap. Hongzhi again: "...non-mind enacts and fulfills the way of non-mind. Enacting and fulfilling the way of non-mind, finally you can rest. Proceeding you are able to guide the assembly." Otherwise it is unlikely that you will be up to the task. What could there be to look at?
