Kyorei Shakuhachi solo by Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin

In the Tang Dynasty in China, Fuke-Zenji often walked the streets ringing a bell. After his death his disciples composed this honkyoku to express their yearning for their master. It was later transmitted to Japan. "Kyorei" means the bell that is the sound of nothingness in Zen Buddhism. This is the oldest and most famous honkyoku.

I found someone, even here in Hamburg, who plays the Shakuhachi. I had my first lesson yesterday and it was awesome, but difficult as well. I will start my training now and hope to see and hear you in the future! Contact me, when you come to Germany.

PS: I didn't know, that Shakuhachis are THIS expensive! about 300 € for a low classified Shakuhachi made out of wood (no bambus), but hey, better to start with that, than with nothing :)

Honors to you againe for this :)

Hi Don,

Thank you for the kind words.

I have a few students in Germany and you can look at my German website also.

I hope to go to Germany to teach in person as well.

Thank you again for your interest!

Absolutely awesome. I'm from germany and very into the asian culture. I really like to learn the Shakuhachi, but finding a teacher or a Dojo for Shakuhachi is as dificult as teaching a dog to become a vegetarian. ;)

I love the sound and the harmful silence around it, ... i need to learn this. Keep on playing, please, and record some more :)

This is my favorite piece. I love the haunting sound of it. I can imagine a monk playing it in a Temple many years ago.

Thanks
