Flute Making and Human Making is a meditation on the similarities to be found between two unlikely things - a traditional Japanese bamboo flute and a human being. This short film is a unique exploration into the making of a shakuhachi flute, from bamboo harvest to beautiful music, and the crossovers with the making of a beautiful human. Had the thought ever occurred to you? Set your imagination to play!
Begin with a posture of openness, of attentiveness. Breathe down through the fluteness of your spine to sense the tensions, where to soften, where to loosen. Consider the flute’s five holes and your own five senses. What crafting can take place, what adjustments, so that the wholeness of your being becomes the greatest, most wonderful offering you can gift to the world?
Buddhist teacher Tarchin Hearn and blind flutemaker Kelvin Falconer take us on a journey into new territory, asking us to meditate deeply on our own crafting, our own fluteness, to take our turn in serious music-making for the healing of the world.
Based on Tarchin Hearn’s book Something Beautiful for the World: A shakuhachi sadhana. If you're inspired by the film to read the book, or to learn more about Tarchin's teachings, visit his website at greendharmatre...

Beautiful work! Love how the bamboo lives in harmony with its community, and wish people could do the same. Admired how a man who can’t see didn’t let that stop him from his creative work. These lovely souls are sweet as the music of their flutes.
I can totally relate to what this man is saying. I’m an Organic produce farmer and artisan bread maker with two small grandsons who shadow me as I go through my workday. My mission is to pass on to them the hundreds of life skills I possess while crafting them into two wonderful men who will be a gift from God to the world they will inhabit someday. Of course, everything we do floats on the strong current of my love for them which sprang from my heart the moment I first held them. They’ve never known anything else from me but love.
Beautiful
Nicely worded, my friend. You appear to have a kind, flourishing soul
It's nice to just sit and watch and listen.
I'm left feeling just a little more positive in the world that exists about me.
Thank you : )
Such a beautiful story! I just love the way he lights up when comparing the five senses with the five holes of the flute.
Thank you for the poetry and metaphor of this film. ❤💚💙💛.... pure light for the soul!!!!!
So much beauty, wisdom and sensitivity🙏

With love and gratitude,🙏
Wow. I’m just going to sit with this for a while.

Thankyou. Such a nice way to frame the view of creativity, our interaction with our world and our own personal development. Also the development of those around us, those that we care about, those that we are involved with as part of their evolution into the human they will become. I now have a new perspective on being a grandfather. A peaceful, enjoyable inspiring film so well crafted. Beautiful.
Thanks for these lovely words, John.

His voice is so calming. I could listen to him talk all day. This was a truly lovely video. It will be added to the playlist of other videos I've saved and shared from your series. Thank you!
Beautiful ❤ thank you for this Video 👍❤️
Wonderful❤
The narrator obviously is a wise and positive human being. But I nevertheless very much prefer to watch crafting videos without talking respectively at least without so incredibly much talking. What the blind craftsmen is able to do is a kind of miracle in itself. Additionally the bamboo flute sounds absolutely fabulous. Congratulations !🎉
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to all involved life forms (humans, animals and plants).
Yes I agree. The narrative is too much. The man’s passion is beyond this video.
