A lovely brief video from Sotoshu, the Japanese Soto Zen denomination, introducing zazen or “seated Zen,” the basic meditation practice of all schools of Zen. A small addendum: In addition to sitting in a chair, the full lotus, and the half lotus addressed in the video, two other postures are often used in Zen meditation, a “quarter-lotus, where the foot rests on the calf, and “Burmese” where the foot is placed on the ground in front of the other, both as pictured in the illustration to the left.
(Thank you, Dosho, for the pointer)
