Riley Lee - Shakuhachi Sleep Music

A master of the Shakuhachi flute, it is said, can invoke an inner stillness in listeners, like a quiet pond reflecting the moon. Shakuhachi Sleep Music invites us to experience here the beauty and calmness of this revered tradition. Grand Master of the Zen bamboo flute Riley Lee plays an authentic and deeply soothing sequence of pieces to guide us, breath by breath, into the peaceful domain of the quiet mind, unperturbed and ready for restful slumber. Riley Lee is the recipient of two venerated lineages of traditional Shakuhachi, traceable back to the Zen komus, or priests of nothingness. He is the first non-Japanese to attain the rank of dai shihan (Grand Master). Also available from Sounds True: Shakuhachi Flute Meditations and Shakuhachi Water Meditations.
