Of all the Asian martial arts, perhaps none is as closely identified in the West with Zen as Kyudo, the "Way of the Bow." Much of this is due to the popularity of the book, Zen in the Art of Archery, by Eugen Herrigel. In it Herrigel eloquently described Kyudo as a "Way" beyond technical proficiency, leading the student to the realization of his or her True Nature. Issha Zetsumei, an international Zen Kyudo seminar, is intended for practitioners of Kyudo who are interested in deepening their experience of Zen and Kyudo. In addition to training in Kyudo on the grounds of a Zen temple, instructionwill include zazen (sitting meditation), fine arts (calligraphy, shakuhachi, chanting), and talks by Zen masters and experienced Zen priests.
Instruction will be in English. The seminar is open to anyone with the minimum rank of shodan (or equivalent) in Kyudo and an interest in pursuing an experience in Zen and Kyudo training.
Fee: $500
