Dead Can Dance - Mushin

Dead Can Dance - Mushin Listen to the music in ’Mushin’ here: Inspired by Japanese archery (Kyudo) and Noh theatre, the film Mushin is a collaboration between the designer and film-maker Graham Wood and Brendan Perry of Dead Can Dance. The term Mushin is a Zen expression meaning “the mind without mind” and is also referred to as the state of “no-mindedness”. Mushin is achieved when a person’s mind is free from thoughts of anger, fear, or ego during combat or everyday life. That is, a mind not fixed or occupied by thought or emotion and thus open to give oneself completely to the shooting is the spiritual goal, achieved by perfection of both the spirit and shooting technique leading to munen musō, “no thoughts, no illusions“.
