    In need of Zafu

    Hi All,

    I am new to Treeleaf and I have posted already my message as a newcomer(please read if you are interested or not interested)

    I just want to inquire, on how to acquire zafu. I am from Cebu, Philippines and I find it so hard to purchase zafu. The one that I am using for 2 years now, is just a block foam of which I have acquired from my neighbor who have just thrown away it as their sleeping bed.

    It had help me a lot actually, but I am really interested to buy or have this zafu.

    Please provide a suggested or help.

    Thank you

      Hi Ronin,

      We have a few "how to pick a Zafu" threads, including how to make one or ask someone good at sewing to make one ...

      Hey everybody, I used to have a couple of meditation cushions but when we moved a few years ago they got left in the garage and the cats adopted them. Despite the fact that you can unzip the cover and wash them someone who shall remain nameless decided that they were garbage and disposed of them. This is about $200 worth of

      I'm on the look out for a zafu, the taller the better. When I occasionally go to the zendo I sit on two zafu's. I seem to get this immense pain in my lower back and two zafu's seem to do the trick. So what kind of zafu would you suggest? I'm taking a look at amazon now, the good ones are obviously pricey, and if I'm gonna buy

      Hi all, I just recently learned from a friend of mine, how to fold a cushion from a blanket. We've been a day/night fishing. Early morning, he saw me folding my blanket to sit and said something like: "If you need to do that hocus-pocus, you should at least sit on an acceptable cushion". I've made a short phone


      They are also available online. If you have one made, however, you can adjust the height and the hardness/density of stuffing to suit your body and height.

              Hi Ronir,

              Brother Kokuu has a nice tutorial on sewing a zafu on his blog:

              Make Your Own Zafu
              https://eastkentsotozen.wordpress.com/make-your-own-zafu/
              Good instructions for making your own zafu (meditation cushion) can be found here.  Personally I find that 12″ diameter top and bottom works well combined with a 6″ x 58″ band in …



              Sewing can be a wonderful practice, and save you some money too!

                          I bought one here https://www.leewadee.co.uk/meditatio...587600551.html about 18 months ago, replacing the one I'd had for around 15 years. No problems to report but although they do not list the Philippines on their International Delivery list, you can contact them to see if they will make special arrangements. See note re Other Addresses https://www.leewadee.co.uk/shipping/
