Mudra

Student G: Just a small question on posture. What your hands-- should your fingers be together?

SR: Yes, fingers together. And you should not cross too deep or too shallow. See? Here, you have two joint here. And this joint and this joint will make one line-- two lines.

Student G: Your first joint should be with your middle joint, and the middle joint--
SR: Yeah. Yours is right. If your mudra is not right, we correct your mudra. --------------------------------------------------  Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-12 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
