zafu cushion 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
          I bought the zafu cushion in the picture from Zen Stitchery, in Los Angeles.  Their website is www.zenstitchery.com.  The quality is excellent. 
 
         Zafus are the best thing to sit on for long meditations.  Soto Zen features eight-hour “sesshins”.  If you ever sat that long on a wooden meditation seat, you’d be limping for a while afterward.
