Kinhin is here. Structure your sitting into two, three, or four periods, connected by walking meditation — with the traditional Sōtō Zen bell sequence throughout: three strikes to begin sitting, two to start walking, one to return, one to close. A second, thinner ring inside the Ensō shows the current phase, while the outer ring tracks the whole session. Still one purchase. Still no account, no tracking, no subscription.
