Cultural question : the zen monk's staff
In film and literature I have often seen Japanese zen monks being shown carrying a long metal staff ending in a hoop with two other a metal rings hanging inside the main hoop. Does anyone know the symbolism behind the three rings ? Is this staff still used by modern day Japansese zen Buddhists ? On beforehand thanks, Amanda. |
