Reibo - Yearning For The Bell
by Riley Lee
This is pure Suizen ("Blowing Zen"), a traditional form of breath meditation using the shakuhachi. Legend has it that this is the oldest, most revered piece within a centuries-old repertoire. Meditative and calming, yet energising and focusing at the same time, the music demands mindfulness. The 'bell' in the title refers to 'enlightenment through sound.' From the CD "Breath-Sight," performed on the shakuhachi by Grand Master Riley Lee. Try breathing in and out with the music, if only briefly.
