The Suizen Credo: A Path of Breath and Mindfulness
In this lesson, Jonen will explore the Suizen gyōka seigan-bun (Ascetic Shakuhachi Begging Practice Oath), a fundamental credo from the Myōan-ji temple tradition. This text expresses the spiritual essence of suizen (blowing meditation), outlining a fourfold path in which each breath serves a deeper purpose:
The first breath cuts away all evil.
The second breath cultivates all goodness.
The third breath benefits all beings.
The path leads to universal awakening.
