Chinese Buddhist Morning Ceremony 佛教 早課 (1)

The morning ceremony is the first of the two important ceremonies (morning & evening) in Buddhist monastic life. The morning ceremony takes place before dawn when the environment is quiet and peaceful. This is an ideal time to clear the mind for cultivation and for reflection on the inner self. The ceremony consists of reciting the Incense Praise, the Shurangama Mantra, the Heart Sutra, the Buddha Praise & recitation of the Buddha's name, making the vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, taking refuge in the Triple Jewels, singing the Wei-Tuo Bodhisattva Praise and the Sri Maha Devi Dharani. Finally, the merit from the ceremony is returned to all living beings.

早課是每天二時功課之一，在天未破曉之際，板聲響起，喚醒睡夢中修行人的覺性，鐘鼓聲中催促著行者上殿，即是一天精進用功的開始。
平時外境紛擾，心念難以收攝，所以在晨朝萬境未動、心靈較清明之時，與大眾一起共修，禮拜、唱誦、持咒、讚佛、發願，並將功德迴向護法龍天及一切眾生，不但能清淨身、口、­意三業，同時也是利益眾生的菩薩行門。

I would appreciate your input regarding how/where to obtain a video of the full morning practice.

[flameofdawn]

Google 佛教 早課, click on the first link, and #10 on the first page should be the same video that you can download.

[grumpa1936]

Can you tell me where this took place?

[flameofdawn]

This ceremony took place at the Yuan-Guang Buddhist College (圓光佛學院) in Chung-li, Taiwan.

Extremely beatiful and Wonderful

[ClearMindDontKnow]

It would be called "Chan" if it's Chinese, Zen if it's Japanese. And Seon if it's Korean.
