Blowing Zen
Finding an Authentic Life
Langbeschreibung
An uplifting story of the quest for an authentic life, and an insightful travel memoir exploring Japan, India, and the U.K. Living in London, Ray Brooks, an outwardly successful but dissolute young man, is troubled by despair and lack of meaning. He travels to Tokyo to find himself, and fortuitously discovers the shakuhachi, an extremely difficult, ancient Japanese bamboo flute. He dedicates himself to mastering it, and his story becomes a passionate example of living in the present. This is the expanded and revised edition with photos.
Ray Brooks, a British musician, composer, writer and teacher, is internationally known in the world of shakuhachi music. He has studied with Japanese shakuhachi masters, learned to play a variety of wind instruments (such as the Balinese Suling flute), mastered circular breathing under the tutelage of Tibetan monks, and studied tabla with an Indian master. He has held small solo shakuhachi concerts in Zen temples throughout Japan and has performed with Akikazu Nakamura, Japan's premier flute player.
