Sutras and Sounds (Japanese Buddhism Music) - The Heart Sutra and Drums:
I think that it is one of solemn religious music to sing a sutra in a large number of people. - A Sutra for Thirteen Buddhas:
You know there are many kinds of Buddha in Buddhism. Buddha is not only the name of Shaka.
Then 13 of them are especially important Buddhas. We call those 13 Buddhas “!3 Butsu”.
This is a sutra for the 13 Butsu, and we call this sutra “13 Butsu Singon”.
The sutra sung in this picture is very rhythmical. - Temko Raion: Sutra and Drums:They beat the taiko drums very powerfully while advocating sutras.
