These CDs are directed at people who wish to practice Zen meditation (shikantaza) at home. It starts with a ring of the mokuhan, a wooden bell, followed by five minutes of silence. During this time, the practitioner must go to his meditation cushion, do his bows, and adjust his posture and breathing. He may also light a candle and incense, if he has an altar at home. Then, there will be three rings of the bells, to mark the beginning of the thirty or forty-minute meditation. At the end of this time, the bell will ring once again, indicating that the meditation is finished. Two minutes of silence will follow, during which the practitioner must bow on the pillow itself, then slowly get out of the meditation posture and prepare to chant the Heart Sutra. To do this, he can stay in the meditation posture, sit on his heels in the Japanese style, or stand. After the chanting, there will be two more minutes of silence. During this time, if the practitioner wishes to, he can do three complete bows to the floor. The five final tracks are: the Heart Sutra in Portuguese, the Daihi Shin Darani and three pieces of music taken from the CDs Zen Flute – Volumes I, II and III respectively. These pieces of music are performed by the Japanese flautist Yôichi Okada and are authentic examples of Zen music.
