On July 14, 2001, Mary Lu Brandwein will present a workshop on the
"Bamboo Way" at the New York Zen Center, Fire Lotus Temple,
The "Bamboo Way" is a method for using sound/music to reach greater
self-knowledge and a deeper experience of one's s/Self. The workshop
is intended for all who are interested in learning more about how to
use sound or music as a door to a spiritual practice. There will be two
parts to the workshop. Morning: The Bamboo Way-How and
Afternoon: Deep Listening.
In the presentation she will play: Kyorei, Sanya, Reibo, and Koku
in the Jin Nyodo Kinko style; Eirei Ni Sasagu and Gekko Reibo from
Yokoyama Rampo's Kinko Honkyoku compositions; Kogarashi, a beautiful
20th century Tozan Honkyoku piece by Nakao Tozan I; and Shika No
Tone.
"Here, let me try.
I will give you a flute voice for your way,
A song of all the worlds and stirrings of my years and
You will be able to walk straightly and strongly.
Don't forget its voice;
Its singing will emerge from you too then."
