Shakuhachi : Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin | |
Shizukesa means Serenity. It is hoped that the peace of the Shakuhachi can help us to center ourselves, and to put aside all problems, and stresses. This Honkyoku was composed for all those recovering from their diseases, obsessions and illnesses. The musical content of this piece directly relates to a quote from the traditional Soto Zen liturgy which states. "May we exist in muddy water with purity like a lotus. Thus we bow to Buddha."
