By practice Buddha did not
mean just to sit under the Bodhi tree or to sit in cross-legged posture. Our
cross-legged posture is the basic posture or original posture for us -- most fundamental
way of being here. But what he meant actually was that mountain or trees or flowing water or flowers and plants and everything as they are is the way
Buddha is. It means everything is taking Buddha’s activity in each position and
in each way, but the way they are for themselves is not understood by
themselves in realm of consciousness..--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 66-12-08 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
