"Holding on to the awareness that you are practicing while the practice continues without a break - this is practicing Chan. As simple as this may sound, not all can do it. People who don’t know how to meditate make a great physical and mental effort to control themselves, but this is misguided and ineffective."
From Attaining the Way: A Guide to the Practice of Chan Buddhism by Chan Master Sheng Yen Shambhala, 2006
