Heki-ryu Bishu Chikurin-ha Kyudo Intensives at Zen Centers
"In kyudo, the form doesn't end with the release of the arrow, but continues in silence and mindfulness as the archer retrieves the arrow. When the archer steps away from the defined practice area, does he leave silence behind?"
—Don Symanski, "Silence and the Narrow Path"
