Learn the Contemplative Art of Japanese Archery

0:00 / 0:00

Kyudo, the Way of the Bow, is one of the oldest arts of the Japanese tradition of contemplative warriorship. The aim is not the target, but synchronization of awareness and body in the present moment. Kyudo is a true contemplative practice.

Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, the renowned Tibetan meditation master, and close friend of Shibata Sensei, said:

Through Kyudo one can learn to live beyond hope and fear, how to be.



This program will provide training in Kyudo's Seven Coordinations, shichi-do, the basic form for aligning the body and properly releasing the arrow. Working with the precision of the form, a natural process gradually unfolds through which the practitioner has the opportunity to see the mind more clearly. The target becomes a mirror which reflects the qualities of heart and mind at the moment of the arrow's release. This distinguishes Kyudo from archery where simply hitting the target is the goal. To begin the study of kyudo, students are required to take First Shot instruction.

All are welcome, regardless of age, gender, or physical strength. Children should be at least 10 years of age.
All necessary equipment will be provided.

If you have any questions about the program please contact SeikoKyudo@KarmeCholing.org
