This week some answers to the following questions:

• In Theravada Buddhism it states the buddha gave four postures for meditation: sitting, standing walking and laying down. In the zen practice do you just do the sitting.
• Is there any practice that would be useful as death approaches and the body and mind deteriorate. I know the Tibetan Buddhists have particular practices but I was wondering if other traditions have anything.
