I've been following this thread to see were it might go. I'm a Zen student
and I came to the shakuhachi as an art assignment during Ango a few years ago.
You can only come to that "state" after you have eliminated the separation
between you and the Shak, that means that you no longer think about the fingering,
or your sound, or the music, in other words you become the sound, the flute
or as they say become the flute. It is impossible to describe what is happening
in words, the words only limit the mental picture and it's not the picture
you're looking for. It is a state of being and you only know it after the fact
when you say, "ahhh haaa, that's it" You can only say you've been there.
In Gassho,
Kyosei
