  Fuke Zen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fuke Zen (Japanese: 普化禅) was a branch of Zen Buddhism which existed in Japan from the 13th century until the late 19th century.
Fuke monks were noted for playing the shakuhachi flute as a form of meditation.
Fuke Zen was brought to Japan by Shinchi Kakushin (心地覚心)(1207-1298), also known as Muhon Kakushin (無本覚心) and posthumously as Hotto Kokushi (法燈国師).

Established by Kobo Daishi (Kukai) at the beginning of the Heian period (9th century), this school is known for its stress on Mikkyo practices and blends many doctrines, philosophies, deities, religious rituals, and meditation techniques from a wide variety of sources.
The school stresses the importance of the enlightenment experience and the futility of rational thought, intellectual study and religious ritual in attaining this; a central element of Zen is zazen, a meditative practice which seeks to free the mind of all thought and conceptualization.
Fuke: Commonly known as the Komuso ("monks of emptiness"), Fuke is a Zen offshoot said to have been founded by Shinchi Kakushin (1207-1298) who was a noted early Zen advocate and multi-talented monk.

The school opened in 1961; its student body is 57 percent Hispanic and 67 percent low-income, according to the school's profile on the Clark County School District website.
The school, with a student population of about 800, was eligible for a federal Title I grant along with 116 other district schools, but the fund ran dry after being applied to the 51 poorest schools in the district.
It wasn't until the 1980s that the school district began funding libraries and providing computers as "original equipage"; before that, new libraries were much on their own, having to build collections with fundraisers and per-pupil money.

despite the claim by the Fuke sect that their members had the exclusive right to play the shakuhachi, it was in fact played by non-members of the sect, including commoners, whether in a spiritual context or a secular context.
During the Edo period, the task of teaching the shakuhachi was initially done in the temples of the Fuke sect themselves, but as the sect’s restrictions regarding the teaching of townspeople were lessened, outside teaching locations were established.
During this time the Kinko lineage was not an independent school of shakuhachi playing but rather was a style of shakuhachi playing with a set repertoire that was collected by Kinko I and transmitted through the Kinko lineage (Lee 1993:145-146).

These are mottos spread by the itinerant priests of the Fuke sect of Zen Buddhism in 17th-century Japan.
One of the most lasting legacies of this particular spiritual tradition is a rich repertoire for the shakuhachi, a five-holed bamboo flute capable of producing some of the most haunting sounds known to human ears - a lonely, desolate beauty.
The Fuke sect was most active in Japan at the very time when the Catholic church forged its most intimate and vexed relationships with Japanese society.

 Interview - James Nyoraku Schlefer - Shakuhachi Master
Kurosawa Kinko, the founder of the Kinko school, the school that I belong to, was commissioned by the guild of monk / shakuhachi players to go out and collect pieces from all over Japan and bring them back so they could be codified.
In the Kinko Ryu (school) in which Jim was trained, the format is quite simple: at each lesson, teacher and student kneel back on their heels, Japanese style, facing each other, with the music (in Japanese notation) between them.
But just a few years later it re-emerged when the Myoan Society was established at the Fuke Temple, Myoan-ji, and the members of this society and their students transmitted this form of shakuhachi music to the present generation of players.
