Dear Gary,

When I first started to attend the Soto Zen dojo I was given the Satipatthana Sutta (MN 10) as a introduction for zazen and shikantaza practice. I still have this sutta at hand because is a fundamental teaching so to develop some skills in daily life through the practice of meditation.

This teaching can give you, as it gave me, a lot of insight for your meditative practice... After this one I have been given the Anapanasati Sutta (MN 118) and the Kayagata Sati Sutta (MN 119) as an introduction to a skilfull meditation practice for Zazen and Shikantaza.

Hope this can be helpfull...
