When the ten-thousand things seem to press in, I find myself hiding in zazen. This is usually related much more to aversion than taking refuge, it seems. Zazen then becomes a place-time-state to hide from fear of the ten-thousand things (or the one or two that seem really frightening or oppressive at the moment!). What does it truly mean to take refuge?
