Tradition and Beyond  (Listen)	Gould, Michael Chikuzen
Long ago, a monk sat beside a lake playing his shakuhachi. Benzaiten, the Goddess of the Sea (and also the Goddess of Music) heard his playing. Benzaiten surfaced with a dragon and after conversing with the monk decided that she would transmit the secrets of shakuhachi music to him but she could only do that through the dragon. Here, the movements and cries of the dragon can be heard through the sound of the waves.
