Harmony

Without right posture you cannot take right breathing. Without some deep breathing your bodily activities will not be one with your mental activities. When you are one with your mind and body your physical effort should be controlled in perfect harmony. This is how we practice our way. --------------------------------------------------  Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-18 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
