Kinhin - Zen Walking Meditation    4K


Kinhin:  "經行 (jap.: "kinhin" or "kyōgyō", chin.: jingxing) walking meditation is practiced between 
long periods of zazen. Practitioners walk clockwise around a room while holding their hands in 
shashu
(left fist closed, while the right hand grasps the left fist). During walking meditation each 
step is taken after each full breath. The word kinhin means 'to go straight'. The beginning of 
kinhin is announced by ringing the bell twice (kinhinsho). The end of kinhin is announced 
by ringing the bell once (chukaisho)."

Wanderlust: A History of Walking.   By Rebecca Solnit.  New York, Penguin Group,

"The rhythm of walking generates a kind of rhythm of thinking, and
the passage through a landscape echoes or stimulates the passage
through a series of thoughts.  The creates an odd consonance between
internal and external passage, one that suggests that the mind is 
also a landscape of sorts and that walking is one way to traverse it.
A new thought often seems like a feature of the landscape that was 
there all along, as though thinking were traveling rather than making."
- Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking, p. 5.
