Ken Zen Ichi Nyo 剣禅一如
At peace with myself....
Me in our group meditation in a park, using Bokuto or wooden sword.
This is part of my samurai sword training. We practice both Kenjutsu and Battoujutsu, among others.

By the way, I just ordered this book from Kinokuniya. Will pick it up soon, either today or tomorrow. Can't wait to read it! It's the book by the legendary Zen monk Soho Takuan who was the mentor of both greatest swordmen during Tokugawa period: Miyamoto Musashi & Yagyu Munenori! I've read excerpts from the book and looks like it's gonna help me a lot in my slow-moving dissertation! :-P
