Question

I have never done zazen in my life so far. I take the liberty of asking you a question, Master Kosen, because your frankness inspired me.

What materials were the zafus used by the ancestors and discoverers of zazen made from?

Biker greetings :-) V

Answer from Master Kosen

They could use certain grasses, such as coufat in India, cotton, kapok, or even a stone or tree trunk.
