WHAT IS SHUGYO?
Shugyo can translate from Japanese in several ways. Most simply shugyo is the method by which one approaches a practice of self- development. “Shu” can be translated as ‘using a brush to remove away the dust that obscures the viewing of a persons original elegance’ and “gyo” can be translated as ‘carrying out’.
Shugyo is dedicated and authentic physical and spiritual training. One metaphor for shugyo is the act of polishing a mirror, not as an act of vanity, but as a method by which to see oneself as truly and clearly as possible. Shugyo is a personal process of refining oneself. This takes dedication and discipline. Shugyo Center offers a place where individuals can take part in Shugyo through the physical practice of their choosing.
