Hmm I should try a seiza. I practised in the Soto Zen tradition and some of the places here can be weird and strict about posture. Unfortunately my flexibility is not enough even to do Burmese safely for long periods, I’m not sure why
- swayvil 4y agoI used to do half lotus on a pillow. It always strained my knees. Then I hurt my knee doing this other thing and couldn't do half lotus anymore. Then I found seiza. It was like, "where have you been all my life!!!" Apparently some Tibetan Buddhists are all about seiza on a bench. The top students inherit the master's bench and such. So it isnt just for stifflegged westerners. Ancient wizards think it's cool too.
