Kyudo, "the Way of the Bow", is the ancient
discipline of Zen archery. The practice of Kyudo is elegant and
deceptively simple. Neither age, sex, nor physical strength have any
significance, so both young and old and those from all walks of life, are
attracted to Kyudo.
Kyudo, a standing form of meditation, is unlike
sport archery in that hitting the target counts for little. In
Kyudo, the target serves only as a mirror of one's mind. With this
practice the aim is to synchronize body and awareness in the present
moment, and thus purify the heart and mind. Confidence and natural
dignity are the result.
Kyudo Japanese Zen archery classes meet off site every Sunday, rain or shine,
from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Equipment is provided.
