Shomyo Taiyo

This is shomyo chanting from the Shingon school of Japanese Vajrayana (or, more properly, Matranaya, the path of mantra). The chant you hear is "Taiyo". The picture shows a statue of bodhisattva Kokuzo (skt. Akasha Garbha).

in my country there was a concert, where shingo monks from Japan were chanting. it was only obout half and hour, but i think it was my first time when i was in some sort of meditative state. the energy and atmosphere was cosmic

how beautiful- chant hovers and glides like a large winged bird- rising and falling with the wind. Kobo Daishi's great blessing soaring in eternal meditation- touching every heart. thank you.

@Spiritualseeker86 Certainly not. They are too hairy. What did you expect ?

[santaclause2ful]

Although I am not buddist, I listen to this to relax, it's the only time I feel Intact and I feel in space

[redwar85]

@hokaidsobol ditto



[naaaaaagz]

[imhatedbyu]

If a westerner, like myself, can practice Zen Buddhism, I am sure they can also practice Shingon Buddhism, ne~ =3

[PakDaeHan]
