SUIZEN SHAKUHACHI
Mumon Ryu Study Method by Zapata sensei
Study program of the Blowing meditation through the knowledge of the shakuhachi, the Japanese zen bamboo flute. Students enter a path of self-knowledge and awaken through the study of the instrument as a sacred tool of meditation that uses the blowing in special breathing patterns in order to achieve connection with their own consciousness and frequency of sound.
The student learns the importance of silence, the spaces, the vibration and the correct administration of his own energy, in the study of sounds and breathing, as well as technical aspects of the instrument and musical theory and concepts. The shakuhachi was a sacred instrument used by the Komuso Buddhist monks of ancient Japan. In our school it is the perfect complement and balance for our practice of Budo, the Japanese martial arts.
Students not only develop their musical intelligence, but they find a path of peace and inner connection through their dedicated practice. Understanding of life is paramount in this practice, the student develops this sensitivity. We born and die in the cycle of breathing.
