> I am interested in learning more about the traditions and routines of the
Komuso Monks. Does anyone know of a source or book that outlines what the
life of a Komuso monk was like? For instance; did they sit zazen daily? did
they live/work in a temple environment? how much of their time was spent
'wandering'? what was the daily routine like?
> I have been able to find little specific information about these mendicant
monks that so many of us spend our lives learning the music they are known
for, yet know remarkably little about.
> I would also like to find out if there are any other shakuhachi players
here in the Atlanta area who might be interested in playing/practicing with
someone.
