Re: [Shaku] Zen in the art of shakuhachi

- There is a VERY interesting post on the Shakuhachi forum at *shakuhachi**
forum*.com/
by Daniel Ryudo in the "History" section of that forum
which describes some aspects of what was or may have been daily practices
in the Fuke sect.

- I am also interested in any possible relationships between the Fuke shu
(sect) komuso and other Zen shu in Japan such as Soto-shu, Rinzai shu, Obaku
shu and even "non" Zen sects such as Shingon shu and Jodo Shin shu and Jodo
shu.
Were there any monks in other shu using shakuhachi as a form of sacred art ?

Not expecting a deluge of answers relative to that but it would be
interesting to know
if anyone has any comments to make .
