正法眼蔵 辨道話( 152)

足を90度に組む、その意味とは何でしょう
Cross your legs at 90 degrees, what does that mean?
直角三角形ゆえに、三方の力が釣り合います
Right-angled triangles, thus balancing the forces on three sides.
これを、紙の上で見ても何のイメージも湧きません
Seeing this on paper does not create any image!
しかし、身体で行うと全く違うものです
But when done with the body, it is something completely different!

普通、「私」と言うイメージは、自己を外へ主張せねばなりません
Usually, the image of "I" must assert itself outwardly
でもこの場合、三方から力を受けて、閉じた形が形成されています
But in this case
forces are received from three sides, a closed form is formed
まるで宇宙の果てから3辺が飛んできて、
それが合わさって三角形になるような感じです。
It's as if the three sides are flying in from the edge of the universe,
and then they fit together to form a triangle.
