Kinhin 經行 (jap.: "kinhin" or "kyogyo", chin.: jingxing) walking
meditation is practiced between long periods of zazen.
Practitioners walk clockwise around a room while holding their hands in
shashu (left fist closed, while the right hand grasps the left fist). During
walking meditation each step is taken after each full breath. The word
kinhin means 'to go straight'. The beginning of kinhin is announced by
ringing the bell twice (kinhinsho). The end of kinhin is announced by
ringing the bell once (chukaisho).
