Together-action

If you practice with others, your good and bad actions already help other people. We call this together-action.
Together-action is like washing potatoes. When washing potatoes, if you put them in a tub full of water and stir them, they bump and rub against each other, washing away the dirt and leaving them clean.
When you stay at a Zen center, you must put down your own feelings and do together-action. This action means not being controlled by your bad karma of desire, anger, or ignorance.
