Buddha with bell
   The shakuhachi has been associated with Zen Buddhism in Japan for over 500 years. Used as a spiritual tool rather than a musical instrument, the shakuhachi is played to relax the mind and body and to lead the player and the listener into a state of meditation and contemplation. Bronwyn is available to play at meditation retreats, peace events and yoga/massage/healing sessions.



   Pilgrim's hymn of the Jin-Ne-In Temple

         The sound of the flute,
         The wind through the pines,
         The plucked string of the koto,
         The songs and the dances:
         All myriad voices of the dharma.
