This set contains everything you need to experience the traditional art of Shakyo - the meditative copying of sutras.
Included are 15 sheets of Shakyo paper: 10 sheets with pre-printed sutra texts to trace and 5 sheets with pure line templates. A special brush pen and a stencil are also included so that you can start immediately.
When you concentrate on tracing the sutras, your mind becomes calm, thoughts fade into the background and a state of inner emptiness (“Mu”) is created. Shakyo promotes concentration, calms and trains the brain at the same time. It is not about beautiful handwriting - the journey is the reward, and even beginners will find this exercise easy to do.
English instructions on the back help you get started. Ideal as a cultural experience or as a quiet ritual for in between.
