It meant that he would not let students make the mistake of trying different breathing techniques and think that they were doing Zazen. I'd second the book discussion idea.

Maybe the lady was annoying or had not taken a bath or was handing out leaflets for her Yoga Class? If anyone wants to get Hardcore Zen and do some book discussion?
