Question
Dear Master, I read what Master Kodo Sawaki says about how little respect someone standing on their head inspires. As I understand it, yoga is not a posture (solely and exclusively). Personally, yoga led me to Zen, and I always find it easier to meditate after practicing yoga. I believe they are two intimately connected paths. Why so much rejection on the part of Zen? Wouldn’t it be better to speak about the positive things that bring them together?
Thank you for reading my question.
With all due respect, Verónica from Argentina

Answer from Master Kosen
Zen is yoga and yoga is Zen. They cannot be separated.
