The overview for the Zen Dir here says "...D.T. Suzuki thought the aspects of this way of life were: a life of humility; a life of labor; a life of service; a life of prayer and gratitude; and a life of meditation...."
Does Zen practice teach humility? Does it require humility? Does it encourage humility? Is it independent of humility? What does it mean by a life of prayer and gratitude? Prayer to someone? Prayer to everyone? Is it a different kind of prayer? Why is meditation necessary and what does it have to do with humility and prayer in Zen?
Thanks.
