Absolutely great travel cushion. Thank you!
Kim M. Nantucket, Massachusetts, 2007

Thank you very much for all your hard work in completing my rush order lay robes.  Everything arrived at Mt. Cobb in time for the Zazenkai.  The robes fit perfectly and enabled me to participate in all the activities…Thanks to all your sincere efforts, all sentient beings were able to fully realize our true self-nature!
Doug D. Oakland, California, 2007

Hello, the rakasu arrived today. It looks wonderful--thanks very much!
Karenleigh O. Colorado Springs, Colorado, 2007

I wanted to tell you in full how happy I am with my cushions... they've been put to a lot of use and they are comfortable yet firm. Sokai is responsible for introducing me to your company and I didn't think twice about buying another set of cushions from you.
David B. Tempe, Arizona, 2007

Koshin, the inkin arrived early last week, and is very beautiful- in design and tone.  I appreciate your help and your product, and will recommend your company to our sangha members.
Michel D. Sag Harbor, New York, 2007

Hi Chris, Just wanted to let you know I received the thick burgundy zabuton and crescent zafu and love them both. Practice is much more comfortable-could stay all day. They couldn't suit me better if you had measured and made accordingly. Thanks so much, continued success!
Jeanette S. University City, Missouri, 2007

Dear Chris, I just want to thank you and your company for the great sitting cushions that you sent us here in Chapel Hill.  They are beautiful and we are just floating on them.
Leila W. Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 2007

Koshin + Soshin, Just wanted to let you know the winter koromo arrived in fine shape. It's amazing, especially when you compare it to the summer number. I'm actually looking forward to cold weather to test its insulating properties.  Anyway, thanks  again for the great work.
Michael H. Albuquerque, New Mexico, 2007

Dear Koshin Chris Cain-  I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my new crescent zafu and zabuton.  They arrived several weeks ago, and I have enjoyed sitting on them every day. I'm going on a meditation retreat this summer, and I was a bit concerned since my body is not as young as it used to be and it complains more when I sit for longer periods. I'm finding that I can adjust the buckwheat cresent zafu in just the ways I had hoped and I have confidence that I won't be so troubled by middle-aged aches during the retreat.
Thanks so much for the gentle attention I can feel in your products.
Louise J. Spring Valley, California, 2007

Dear Koshin Chris Cain, I received my robe today.  Very promp!  It fits perfectly. Thank you,
Klare S. Vancouver, Canada, 2007

Lidunn, We just got the zafus and zabutons. They are so beautiful. My mother is a talented seamstress who made my wedding dress, so my expectations and hopes for these things tend to be high. You did such a lovely job on them! I'll email you a picture when I have a chance.
Liz C. San Francisco, California, 2007

Dear Lidunn and Chris, I wanted to let you know that the collar arrived today--it is beautiful and perfect--thank you SO much for the lightning-like service.
Pina K. Santa Cruz, California, 2007

Hi Lidunn, Perfect!  Thank you so very much for your most excellent work [on my summer koromo]!!!!
William B. Vancouver, Canada, 2007

My zafu & zabuton arrived yesterday.  It looks much better in person and I'm glad I went with this particular color way (Burg/Black).  The Zabuton in particular has the perfect fluff to it and  I'm looking forward to many more meditation sessions minus the sleeping foot.  Thanks again !
One satisfied customer, Walnut, California, 2007

Received the cushions and love your products - I enjoyed reading your website and learning how both of you choose the path you are on. Your classic Zafu kept me company recently during a 10 day Vipassana and it will do so again this December. The 2 support cushions I just received are perfect support for my knees when I sit for longer periods. The workmanship and quality of your products are a testimony of your care. Thank you.
Hotse L. Lauderdale, Florida, 2007

It [the Rinzai Rakusu] arrived and is exquisite. Thank you.
Lee Ann M. Phoenix, Arizona, 2007

I am very pleased with the inkin!
Leslie D. Westerville, Ohio, 2007

I think your website is flawless, and that's a retired editor speaking.  I sent your home page to a friend who is a photographer, because of the beauty of the photograph.  The structure is also very attractive and suitable.  I have never seen a home page built like that. . . . I also like the emphasis on quality in such things as the clappers.  We were very happy with the covered teacup.  The beautiful calligraphy in dull glaze shows so well against the dark blue---really, it is more attractive than a photo can show.  We enjoyed the care taken in packaging.  It seemed to be the spirit of Zen.
Jeanne D. Columbus, Ohio, 2007

Thank you so much for providing me with such a fine rakusu. My Jukai ceremony was quite impressive and I am happy to say you contributed much to it.
Jeffrey M. Coral Springs, Florida, 2007

The Zagu was waiting at my door, thanks to the nice UPS man,  when I got home tonight.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to both of you!  It's beautiful!  And the hand written note made me smile:-)
Daniel H. Phoenix, Arizona

 Hi Koshin, The robe arrived fine. Very nice work.
Jose Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, 2007

Dear Lidunn -- The workmanship [on my lay robe set] is superb.  All those beautiful French seams.  They fit wonderfully. 
Carol S. California, 2007

You made me a crescent zafu.  I love it!  Thank you so much. I wish I had found you when I was looking for a zabuton. I'm not crazy about the one I got and you make good meditation products.
Thanks so much.
Sheila M. New York, 2007

I originally ordered the set of robes for Dai-sesshin at Mount Baldy in '04 but I have worn them for zazen just about every day since;  they are very sturdy & comfortable--thank you for the obvious skill & craft that went into their making;  I'm sure that the inkin & clappers will serve many zen trainees in their efforts.  Still Sitting really does a fine job of offering all the specific essentials to support zen training at home or at a center. I wonder if you've ever considered offering samu-e as well as robes?  That's about the only suggestion I might have.  Again, thank you for the support & the fine crafts that you offer.
Edward M. San Francisco, 2007

 
[My wife] purchased the crescent zafu for me as a gift and I'm enjoying it greatly.  It works well since I sit directly on the zabuton and use the zafu as support to keep from rolling backwards.  Even during long sits I'm never aware of the cushion - it's just right.  I also appreciate the high quality durable fabric. 
Jon P. Anacortes, 2007

 
There is some feedback that I would like to give to you and it is long overdue. Firstly, about my robes. They arrived just hours before Banka. I slipped out of my nearly transparent Mt. Baldy borrowed ones into the new ones...the first thing I noticed was the perfection of the fit..which was an incredible gift after toying constantly with the other robes. The crispness of the Hakama ( that's the skirt, right?) fabric took me a little by surprise, in that I immediately realized that it I was going to have to be very diligent about any lower body movements, because they were going to make that fabric sing. So I was happy, but a little nervous...and the first night and the first day passed. The second day was about one thing, and one thing only. SURVIVAL! All I could think was that I

wasn't going to be able to sit one more hour...each time the bells rang I kept trying to imagine how I was going to explain, escape, or just disappear.  Then came day three.  I got up and dressed. I felt different. The robes felt different. I entered the Zendo, sat on my cushion, straightened my robes and suddenly felt the incredible power and beauty of my garments. They took on a sense of being a uniform, one which was exquisitely tailored. I felt noble, regal, and invincible all at once. I felt like a samurai. It was a moment of making a relationship...more than one actually....myself with the act of sitting, myself with the act of meditation, and myself with the image of becoming a soldier - dressed to go forward onto "the way of Zen"....and at once it was clear to me that I had been "clothed" in robes of tremendous magnificence and power. I sat taller, stronger, and more intensely from that moment on, and I wear my robes with the pride of purpose and presence with which they have certainly been crafted.

And the cushion is perfect Hard and just the right size. I used the support ones under each knee as necessary. Recently, I have decided that I would like a little more height which is why today I just ordered two more.
David V. Palm Springs, 2006

My boyfriend is a practitioner at the North Carolina Zen Center Brooks Branch Zendo, and when I went for a visit I commented on how the incense in the zendo was fragrant and very pleasant, and did not give me a headache (I am sensitive to smells).  So, he found out who their supplier was, and now we both are happy because he gets to burn incense [Gozan] when he sits and I don't get headaches.

I was looking for a reasonably priced whisk for matcha.  Terrific selection of meditation related items.
Joel B. New Jersey, 2006Randolph,

 
Thank you for your quick response.  I found your website to be beautiful and easy to use.  The information about shipping was most helpful. Thank you for getting my order out in time for Christmas. 
Cathy C. Wisconsin, 2006

 
The site is great and easy to follow and simple and attractive.  I'm a graphic designer and art director, so I found it very appealing.
Charles W. New York, 2006

 
Thanks for checking.  Yes, we did receive the cushions -- and they're gorgeous.  Thanks for helping with the address. 
Jane H. California, 2006

 
It was very easy to maneuver through your site, especially for a novice like me.  Shopping on line is still new to me but I'm finding the convenience well worth the effort.
Diane R. Massachusetts, 2006

 
With respect to your webpage, it is very well designed and easy to navigate. It offers almost everything what a "serious" Zen practitioner needs - robes, meditation cushions, zendo tools, etc. I do not know any other place in the North America where somebody would be able to buy a robe and I think that it is really good that Still Sitting Meditation Supply exists.
Branko V. Canada, 2006

 
My order arrived yesterday, and my daughter is thrilled with her new zafu and zabuton. Thanks for such a beautifully designed product. Your web site certainly caught my eye. It's well-designed, inviting, and user-friendly.  It also helped that the name of your business is an inversion of "Sitting Still," one of my favorite R.E.M. songs. ;-)
Bill M. New Jersey, 2006

 
You asked when you sent me a teapot to let you know if it arrived okay - well it did and it seems to pour well.  Looks delightful. The lotus seed bracelet is also good. Thanks.
Leslie R. Edinburgh, Scotland, 2006

Thank you so much for the wonderful robes! I know it took a lot of work to get them out on time, and I am very grateful to you both!
Chris B. Phoenix, Arizona, 2006

 
The robes arrived late Friday but I was so busy that I just now had time to open the box and try them on.  Everything is beautiful and fits so perfectly!  The koromo is great - again, I hope the fabric wasn't too hard to work with.  Thank you for your quick and expert work.
Marie N. Phoenix, Arizona, 2006

 
I've looked at robes on other sites, and apart from a German Buddhist site, Klange und Stille, I have not so far seen the same offering of authenticity and dedication.
Dr. Nick A. Lightning Ridge, Australia, 2006

 
I think the quality and thoroughness of the website initially attracted my attention compared to other sites. I like the fact that your company is family owned and that work is approached as a part of practice. Essentially, it seems like you offer a quality product and that my money is being well spent :)
Brian W. Evanston, Illinois 2006

 
The koromo belt which I earlier ordered from you arrived today.  It fits perfectly and is clearly crafted with care.  I thank you for your kind attention and for providing support to all of us who practice.
Brenda N. Meadow Lake, Canada, 2006

 
Thanks, by the way. Everything came much more quickly than I expected!
Wes T. Tokyo, Japan, 2006

Thank you for my robe - it fits perfect and is very beautiful. I appreciate your precise professionalism and exact dates!
Francesco A. New York, 2006

 
Just a quick note to let you know that I LOVE MY NEW KOROMO! 
Anne-Marie Q. Los Angeles, 2006

 
I browsed a number of sites offering meditation robes, but I felt yours was the most professional and offered the most reasonable price for the product. 
Scott C. Lexington, Kentucky, 2006

 
Det er supert. Takk for god service.
Fred M. Oslo, Norway 2006

 
Jeg har dårlige knær og sitter helst i seiza med bare en liten pute mellom helene og baken - og her er reisezafuen genial siden jeg kan justere den med oppblåsing. Takk!
Espen O. Oslo, Norway, 2006

 
Received my order today, the zafu and zabuton look great. I look forward to doing a little zazen this evening and trying them out.
Grant A.  Vancouver, Canada, 2006

 
I received your beautiful brown Soto rakusu a week ago and like it a lot! Thank you once again!
Harald S. Noer-Lindhoeft, Germany, 2006

I received the robes Friday after I returned from morning chanting.  They are great.  I used to make parachute equipment in Kapowsin, WA so I know a little about sewing, the quality and workmanship are first class. Thank you,
Larry C. Beaumont, California, 2006

 
I just wanted to let you know that I've been using your cushions for a while now, and I LOVE them.  Very well made, and extremely comfortable.  Thank you so much for an excellent product.  If you ever decide to put a testimonials page on your web site, let me know.  I'd be happy to write up a flowery word or two in high praise of your shop.
John H. Seattle, Washington 2006

 
The Rakusu pouch is already in my hands. Fortunately customs thought it was some kind of book.  (I buy a large number of books from abroad) and they didn't opened the envelope. Books in Brazil doesn't pay import taxes, so the Rakusu pouch arrived quickly in my address. Thank you for the kind manner to deal with me and probably with other customers. I hope you make good business and have a happy life.
