In addition to understanding how to meditate, you do not need anything. However, a meditation cushion (called a "zafu") or a meditation bench is extremely helpful. The second most important piece of equipment would be a buttonless mat to put under your knees and the zafu or bench. Other items such as a sitting robe, a timer, incense, and so on can also be very helpful.
