Hi.
Not to get argumentative but just to make a point, let
me ask whether anyone anywhere has ever played the
shakuhachi accidentally? Or just accidentally sat
down to meditate? I was walking along and one day I
could play the shakuhachi. I was walking along and
one day I just sat and practiced Zen.
It may happen, but I do not know of it. Playing flute
and meditating are intentional activities and
intention implies a goal.
Regards,
John Baker
