Zazen is often described as "good for nothing" because it is not done to achieve a result or gain something.
The Meaning of "Good for Nothing... "No Goal: You do not sit to attain enlightenment, reduce stress, or gain superpowers.
No Product: Unlike reading, working, or exercising, zazen produces no external commodity or measurable metric.
Pure Being: It shifts your mindset from "doing" to "being.
"Self-Sufficient: The practice is its own reward; sitting is the enlightenment, not a means to it
