The Art of Zen Meditation Quotes

“Zen must be a part of our lives, not a replacement for it.”
― Howard Fast, The Art of Zen Meditation

“I find it best to sit in a simple cross-legged position, my seat a few inches off the floor, raised by a pillow, and my crossed ankles resting on some soft material, a mat or a carpet or a folded blanket. I sit on the edge of the pillow, with a slight impetus forward and downward. My hands are loosely in my lap the thumbs touching. My eyes are directed at the floor, to a point about three feet in front of me. I wear a loose robe that does not restrict any part of my body. My trunk is erect, my head squarely upon my spine.”
