Just one more comment on the acoustics. The present period in Soto Zen
Training is a 90 day period call "Ango." During this time the Zen student
intensifies the study efforts and tries to deepen the practice. As part of my studies at
this time, the abbot assigns an art project. This fall's project is the
expression of one's inexpressible sense of your own self-expression through an art
form. For me it's the Shakuhachi. The process is compositional effort after
sitting in Zazen for an extended period of time. So it's just sit, then play,
then put it on paper.
All the physics and all the math will not help to get it done but would any
of you more experienced players and teachers have ideas on how to get it on
paper after the inspiration has played itself out.
Much thanks,
in Gassho
