Resources for practice

Several of the links on this page and throughout this website will connect you to our continually evolving companion-site, Sanshin Source, which serves as an online multimedia library of context and in-depth information about our style of practice, organized around our practice vision diagram. Anyone is welcome to peruse and study our resources as our collection continues to grow. It may be helpful to begin with our pages on the four foundational aspects of our practice: zazen, work, study, and ritual.
