Album Notes

Audio Kensho – hearing one\'s nature or true self through sound vibrations

The power that you\'ve built up through samadhi in zazen is smashed to pieces by the sounds of the outside world. At that point, suddenly our self-nature externalizes and throbs into life. Is the sound me, or am I the sound? The sound and I are one; the sound and I go \"Gong!\"


1.Kensho – seeing one\'s nature - or true self
2.Mushin – Mind not fixed or occupied by thought or emotion is open to everything
3.Gnosis – Know This (Greek) direct experiential knowledge of the divine – knowledge as in revelation or intuitive
4. Shoshin – beginner\'s mind. It refers to having an attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying a subject, even when studying at an advanced level, just as a beginner in that subject would.
5.Samadhi – Acquire integration or wholeness, truth – state induced by complete meditation
6.Mushi Dokugo - awakening alone, without a master
7.Koan – question containing aspects that are inaccessible to rational understanding, yet may be accessible to intuition. (Sound of one hand clapping)
8.Satori – Understanding (Kensho)
9.Bodhi – awakening – all minds, all cultures, all music waking up to Oneness.
10.Sunyata – Void - impermanent nature of form means that nothing possesses essential, enduring identity this insight leads to wisdom and inner peace.
11. Zazen – seated meditation - the eyes being neither fully open nor shut so that the practitioner is not distracted by outside objects but at the same time is kept awake.
12. Mu – in answer that the question is wrong. (No thing, start over – you can\'t get there from here you have to go home and start over again)
