What do Tibetan Buddhists use for meditation cushions?
Hello, I’m Kabir, and someone(my elder) recommended that I start meditating like a Buddhist. Can someone tell me what type of cushions Tibetan Buddhists use so I can recreate something on my own or buy it online?

Tibetan Buddhists often use a round cushion called a zafu or sometimes just folded blankets to sit on. The idea is simply to raise the hips a little so that the back stays straight and the legs do not hurt. But I definitely suggest you to use Tibetan singing bowl during meditation. It is used for calming effect. Tibetan Buddhists also focus a lot on breathing and chanting mantras. You can also start with ''OM'' Chanting for 10 minutes everyday. So don’t worry too much about cushions. Start with what you already have.
