A. Absolutely not. Although the aim of Zen meditation is enlightenment, it doesn’t mean that it is not beneficial to our lives until we attain enlightenment.
Zen meditation would be meaningless to most people if it did nothing to enhance the happiness of our lives until we attain enlightenment.
Steady and correct practice will lead you to new experience you have never had and enable you to see and hear what you couldn’t see and hear before. The riper your practice becomes the more beautiful your surroundings will appear to be, along with which you will find your life more stable and happier.
