Question
You say that even with a severe disability, anyone can practice, in a chair or lying down. But what, then, about lotus or half-lotus posture, since it seems to be the key to zazen?

Answer from Master Kosen
There is electromagnetic energy, cosmic energy, and gravitational energy. There is the brain, the heart, and the hara, or kikai tanden in Japanese. In zazen, the three energies are connected. If you cannot take the posture, you still have the brain and heart to connect with. It is not complete, but it is already quite something.
