It seems that most of the zen material is Japanese in orientation, thus to
not further complicate the issue I stopped there. I believe the word you are
looking for is 'phonetic' - ie sounds like. The founder of akido is
attributed with what can only be called psychic abilities, which fits with
your mention of 'miracles'. It appears that many teachers perform them, but
the better ones are more discreet about it <g>.

Thank you for your comments.

Sincerely,

Mark Stavish
