Closing the Lower Door

One of the points of meditation posture is "closing the lower door" which basically means that you rock back and forth, right and left before meditation to make sure your buttocks are together. I had the occasion to ask a Lama yesterday whether this means you should refrain from passing gas while meditating, and she said yes. Now I know. I'm going to try this out to see how it works.

So far I haven't had occasion to really test this out since I haven't had the need to pass gas in the middle of meditation in the past few days. It does seem odd.
