Right Action and Carpe Diem are pretty much elements of the same thing. Zen also plays a part in your life, Capi. You just might not recognize it as such. When you recognize that you MUST wait, and that the waiting is just as it should be, and still you recognize further that the waiting is all good, then you are playing Zen.
Buddhism isn't really a religion as much as it is a philosophy of life. And having known you, you integrate both Tao and Zen in your life.
A man sitting at a bus stop waiting. The bus pulls up and the man gets on. An old monk turns to to a young monk. 'The man was sitting on the bench, and the man is getting on the bus." The young monk nods. "That was Zen... This is Tao."
