One

Student F: Dogen Zenji said that the mind and body are one and the way is attained through the body. What did he mean by that?

SR: Through? Not “through.” To-- mind and body is one, so if you practice physical practice, the mind is there, you know. True mind is there. 
 

Student F: Thank you.

SR: So what we should do is to sit in right posture.
