Religion and music have always had an integrally close relationship with each other. As the world's fourth largest religion, Buddhism is no exception; except the way it has intertwined with music is somewhat different to the relationship music has with Christianity, Islam or Hinduism. Buddhism is unique in that it does not consider chanting to be prayer.

Chanting cleanses the mind like water cleanses the body. When you chant Buddhist mantras, you are not asking someone to save you from evil nor are you hoping to be given a place in heaven after death. Instead, through chanting you can learn, teach, philosophize or re-memorize the discourse.

This DVD contains Buddhist chants recited by monks in monasteries in Thailand and India. It also contains a short history of the origin of some important chants, an interview with a monk and helps give a deeper understanding of Buddhist chants. Through this DVD, you will learn several important chants which are the first steps to meditation. They focus on a simple phrase and melody and repeat it over and over. The repetition relaxes the mind, and the body thus becomes ready to meditate.

The aim of Buddhist chanting and meditation is to clean the mind of defilement and disturbances, to gain insight (Vipassana) which leads to the understanding of the true nature of things. The essential features are mindfulness and awareness, which you will discover by practicing chanting with this DVD.

  • @fettkatt87 typical Christian ye with your Crosses and Statues of Jesus Christ who if u arnt a retarded idot I.E YOU Buddhist Monks belive Jesus Christ to be the reincarnation of The Budda Who they belive to have been the living incarnation of God so why dont u learn before u JUDGE another and since the bible says only God can JUDGE i guess ur f**ked arnt You Chao bro

  • This is idolworship. Statues of buddah are just statues, big or small, they cant move, hear, see, speak, think or do anything, they just stay there. they are not alive and therefor it cant hear your prayers, so people that pray to statues pray invane. and they are made of gold or any othe dead metal. The only one that can hear prayers are Almighty God in heaven, the creater of heaven and earth, the God of the Bible, read john 3.16 in the new testament to learn what God has done for us.
