Joriki (Zen, Japanese)

The practice of [zazen]

meditation concentrates the mind and leads to the arising of [joriki]

, the power to maintain a state of permanent awareness and to act spontaneously and appropriately in all circumstances, however difficult, being in total command of the situation. This is one step towards intentionless action - [fugyo-ni-gyo]

- which, however, implies total enlightenment, and total detachment from the results of the action and from the self as initiator of the action. For this [joriki]

is necessary but not sufficient.
