I have been tozan several times. It is always hard to convey to people back in the US what a profound experience it is. Recording the sounds expresses it better than any words i could speak. Thank you.
The feeling at the temple, when i was there 4 times from 1971-1980 was wonderful. Once i layed down in the grass next to running water and fell asleep and had a remarkable dream.
To Alan in the UK: The drum sounding for Ushitora Gongyo is announcing the approach and entry of the high priest. Consider it to be the equivalent of a trumpet fanfare played to announce the appearance of the sovereign or some other important personage in European traditions. The sound of the drum inside the Joshodo-the rhythmic sounding-is accompanies daimoku chanting and is meant to help the people chanting stay in unison, as well as to serve as a sort of "music" for the Buddha.
Why the beatings? Is it some form of punishment? I've just started practising again after several years.......and I am slightly confused by this. Can sombody explain please. Alan from England.
Thank you for this beautiful video.
