禅？
Hello everyone,
This is James, I have been provide madake to shakuhachi makers for the past years. I'm not a shakuhachi maker by myself, and i also donot know how to play shakuhachi, but I really love the sound play from shakhuachi. Recently, I have read many topics about shakuhachi, and found that shakuhachi is related to 禅， am I right? If so, may I ask why is realted to 禅. And to be honest, As far as I know 禅 is derives from Yangqi county, pingxiang city, jiangxi province, China, which is my hometown, and I have been to that temple in 2003. I have been told that they are many disciples in Japan and other countries.
Can anybody tell me, what I say is right? or does shakuhachi is related to 禅， and why?
Thanks,
James

Re: 禅？
By the way, the kanji that James refers to means 'zen' or 'silent meditation'. Anyone care to take a stab at this?
