Beautiful! I was lucky enough to participate in a Goma in 2005, and it truly touched me! Can anyone tell me the name of the chant in this video? Thanks for any information you can provide!
no disrespect intended. wherever Buddhism went,it fuses itself with the locals so well the Chinese have their 3 religions blended into one, and guess what? one of it is Buddhism! i'm a Chinese and proud of it
Buddhism + all the cultural trappings...what happens to the Buddha's message of Nibbana? erm..most culturals practises are going headlong with the Buddha's teaching on right views leading to Nibbana (Brahmajala Sutta).. well, whatever, not intending to prolong this issue, may you enjoy you form of Buddhism. sorry if any tension was created ;)
