Autumn Fields / Akita Sugagaki

Autumn Fields (Akita Sugagaki) is a centuries-old, orally-transmitted meditation. It was created, taught and performed in the context of Zen Buddhism in Japan. I received this piece from my first teacher Sakai Chikuho II, in the mid-1970s. To appreciate Autumn Fields fully as a listener, it helps to follow my breath, inhaling as much as possible, through your nose. This short meditation is perfect to pause during your busy day with a brief, rejuvenating moment of contemplation.

Spellbinding, minimalist beauty. Feels as sacred as it sounds. Like walking through the warm, golden wheat fields of your inner consciousness, the stalks swaying and praying to the sound of this ancient instrument. Namaste 🙏
