You can use several different poses, and practice must experiment to determine which of them suits him best. If the student is able to maintain stable, fixed position of the body without feeling any inconvenience from twenty to thirty minutes, not so much matter what position he takes in this. Clothes should be free, not to embarrass any body parts. During the practice zazen student usually sits on the floor, facing the wall, on a pillow or folded blanket. Under the buttocks puts another pillow - smaller and thicker (or is taking one edge of the first pillow). It is desirable that this pillow (or folded part) was thick enough, because otherwise the student will be difficult to take the proper, stable posture. Pads should underlay only under the buttocks, it does not reach the hips.
The figure shows the pose of "full lotus". It is symmetrical, the right foot is on the left hip and left to right, you can also take the opposite position of the feet. Both knees are firmly on the pillow. Hands rest on the legs, usually right hand under the left and the palm facing upwards. The thumbs can touch the tips of each other, forming a ring, or they can be put in parallel to each other.
Pose "half lotus" (pose polulotosa) easier. Right foot is under the left thigh and the left foot rests on the right hip (again, perhaps the opposite position). Hands are the same as in the pose of "full lotus".
In all the postures of the body must be stable base is the triangle formed by the buttock and two knees. The pelvis is firmly retained in the stillness, the body is located at right angles to it without any tilt in whatever direction.
Not bad, if a person is slightly turned down, looks like some of the images of the Buddha, then his forehead slightly further forward, and the chin slightly drawn. A small tilt of the neck forward with a completely immobile body facilitates entry into a state of samadhi, maybe you really will find themselves involuntarily accept this position with the development of practices and approaches to the samadhi. But if the student wishes - by virtue of their physical characteristics - he could just straighten the head and neck.
Meditation - a special psycho-physical state of man. It stays in this state.
Meditation - a state of no-mind. Meditation - a state of pure consciousness without content. Usually our minds are too crowded with rubbish, just like a mirror covered with dust. Um - the constant throng, moving thoughts, desire to move, moving memories, moving ambition - is a permanent roost! Day comes, day goes. Even when you sleep, the mind works, he is dreaming. This is still thinking, it is still excitement and sadness. He is preparing for the next day, continuing undercurrent of the preparation. This condition - not meditation. Just the opposite is meditation. When there is no jostling, of thinking and an end, no one thought does not move, not a single desire is held, you are completely silent - a silence is meditation. And in the silence known truth, more than ever.
Meditation - a state of no-mind. And you can not find the meditation with the mind, as the mind will ever find himself. You can find meditation, only delaying the mind to one side while remaining cool, indifferent, unidentified with the mind watching the mind passes by, but not identifying with him, not thinking that I have it. Meditation - is the realization that I do not have mind. When awareness is deeper and deeper, little by little, there are moments - moments of silence, silence, moments of pure space, moments of transparency, the moments of moments, when nothing in you not kept, all the time. In these moments of constancy, the silence will know who you are and you learn the secret of existence of this life, that existence.
