Jeff Shore -- What does it really mean to die in Zazen?

Dead sitting versus truly understanding, realizing, embodying the words of Zen.
Words are not Zen but they are also not other.
How do we bring those words to life?
Jeff refers to a koan from the Chinese Chan (Zen) tradition on dying in seated meditation. For details, see his book "Great Doubt: Practicing Zen in the World" (Wisdom Publications 2016), p. 82/83.
(From a retreat at Domicilium, Germany, summer 2023)
