<excerpt><fontfamily><param>Arial</param><x-tad-bigger>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 =
