How Long Have you Been Studying Martial Arts? ... Conversations with a Buddhist Monk

Apart from being descended from a long line of master calligraphers, the Buddhist Monk was also descended from long lineage of Kyudo Masters. He said that sometimes people ask how long he’s been studying (Kyudo).

He said: "This is a silly question."

As he continued to explain -- he comes from a family that is 800 years old. Every time he picks up the bow, he has generations that have gone before him. His father told him that maybe in 10 generations from now, one of them may be finally able to hold the bow correctly.
