Shakyo Practice In Tendai Buddhism [ http://www.tendai-lotus.org ]
This practice starts as the brush meditation which is simple to practice and imbibe.It incorporates writing down the characters of the sutra word by word in the moments of silence. The writing is done with some help from a brush in complete awareness. As the writing moves forward, the words of the sanctified one enters your being and in turn come on to the blank bit of paper as kanji.
