I got it near a Tibetan Buddhist temple in the fair city of Shanghai. These are very common to all the modern Pure Land Buddhist sects. If you live in a part of the US with Buddhist temples you can probably get it there or nearby, or if there's a city with Chinese or Vietnamese areas I'm sure you can get it there.
I found one at the thrift store recently with this same chant (same recording) it is a circular enclosure with a white neon curcular buld inside. The plate behind Buddha rotates and gives a great effect!
There's a million variations of these machines, their name translates to "Worship Buddha Machines." The FM3 version was an artistic take-off, the real thing is cool though - especially when the lights behind Buddha are spinning, I fixed it after making the video.

This one is cheaper than the FM-3 by about ten dollars, and in my opinion is cooler looking and has better tunes.

@kamapuaa2 Hi there, I just got one of these, how did you fix the spinning light? Would be a great help to me!

@robbytuck Wish I could give a better answer than "unscrew the case and fiddle about with it" but that's what I did. It's pretty simple machinery.

@kamapuaa2 Haha thanks man, I'll give that a go tonight! I'll never find spiritual enlightenment without spinning lights!

Its actually called a Buddha Box. FM3 is the name of a chinese band that made the sounds for the buddha box.

Actually, the FM-3 box is no different, doesn't light up, and the loops are mostly the type that after awhile you never want to hear them again.
