In the rinzai school the walking is done fast, while in the soto school it is done in slow motion. Also the way that the start and end are announced seems to me to vary among the different groups. -- Pweemeeuw, Sept. 19, 2003

I am aware of a Rinzai group in Missouri that practices kinhin slowly, and different Soto traditions walk with varing degrees of slowness (but not as briskly as is traditionally associated with Rinzai kinhin, based on my experience). I have witnessed different ways of announcing the end of kinhin among different groups within the Soto school.U.b.i.k. 03:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)U.b.i.k.
