Your mind follows your breathing and with your full mind you form the mudra in your hands; with your mind you sit
with painful legs without being disturbed by them. This is to sit without
gaining idea. At first you feel some restriction in your posture but when you
find you are not disturbed by the restriction that is actually what we
mean by emptiness is emptiness and form is form. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-11-02 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
