About Blowing Zen: Expanded Edition: One Breath One
Note: The Blowing Zen recordings are available from Kunaki, Gumroad, and BlowingZen.org. http://bit.ly/kunakiabbott https://afm.gumroad.com/l/bzcd https://blowingzen.org/learn/ The Shakuhachi is an ancient flute that captivates many who cross its path. Hidden in its simplicity is profound possibility. The windy, resonant sound of the Shakuhachi brings deep serenity to sympathetic ears. For the devoted player, it is also a spiritual tool for training the mind and breath. Most notably, Zen monks have using the Shakuhachi for centuries to train mind and breath through the practice of Sui Zen (blowing Zen) using Buddhist music composed specifically for the Shakuhachi. Blowing Zen: Expanded Edition is two books in one. The first is the original Blowing Zen (1992) which guides you step-by-step from producing sound to playing Buddhist Meditation music. Also included are detailed build-your-own shakuhachi instructions. The 'Expanded" section is Blowing Zen II, which contains sheet music for an additional 26 Hon Kyoku compositions (Zen Buddhist music), pitch graphs, more San Kyoku (Japanese Chamber music), and more Japanese folk music. The Blowing Zen Companion CD (available separately) contains the Japanese folk tunes, chamber music and Buddhist composition “Hi Fu Mi” taught in the first section of the book. It also includes examples of timing and standard Buddhist music phrases. Visit BlowingZen.com for FREE audio and video recordings of the material covered in the book.
