Having my upcoming Vipassana Meditation Retreat in mind I decided I would invest in a meditation pillow. I
will have to sit formore than 10 hours each day and it will definitely come
handy after I come back from the retreat. However, after researching I found
out that a zafu pillow costs anywhere between 40-60 euros, an amount of money
that seems a bit too much to me. Being good with crafts since I was a little
girl, I thought I should search for a tutorial and make my own pillow. And then
I came across this article here:
"The following information was
originally published by the Zen Center of Los Angeles and was found in one of their
fine books, entitled “To Forget the Self: An Illustrated Guide to Zen
Meditation” by John Daishin Buksbazen. Unfortunately, this book is
now out of print. It is gratefully presented here as a help for those getting
started on their own.
