William,<br/><br/>What I'm saying is that there is a good reason why formal Zen 
Buddhist practice uses certain postures in its traditions. If you want to mix 
it up and dilute it with other practices then fine. But don't call it Zen 
Buddhist practice. <br/><br/>I practice Vipassana more than I do Zen. The 
posture used in this tradition is pretty much up to the practitioner as long as 
the spine is upright (if possible) and you note the urge to shift your position 
when uncomfortable. Formal postures and hand mudras don't have a place. When I 
do this practice I don't call it Zen.<br/><br/>Mike<br/><br/><br/>Sent from
