I just want to know, from the Pali Canon, how exactly the Buddha Meditated each day. None of the more complicated techniques. Just Samadhi. As of right now, I meditate the way you are taught in Zazen (eyes looking three feet in front of you, eyelids closed as much as possible, but to where you still see the focal point). I know there are many different ways. But I want to know what the Tathagata did, his posture, his eyes (closed/open? direction they faced?), etc.
