Kyosaku, Jp., lit. "wake-up stick" which is used on persons sitting in seated mediation (zazen). When they become drowsy, they are struck on the shoulders with the kyosaku. The stick is flat which makes a loud sound. It doesn't hurt and is, in fact, stimulating helping one to overcome fatigue.

What is the stick use to hit sleeping church members?
I am not aware that there is such a stick in Christianity but in Zen Buddhism it is called Keisaku. In Zen Buddhism, Keisaku is an attempt by a sensei to alert students to their mindlessness in Zazen (sitting meditation) through a strike, usually administered by a stick on the shoulders. An English translation is stick of compassion. == == == ==
