The reason is called Bat-smart (a transliteration of the word "prajnaa" (S) which means "wisdom") because their performance is to awaken people's hearts, able to touch the listener's spirit. Bat-elegant bell in the common noun to show great bell (huge bell) and a large drum, usually placed two of the main hall to the left, in a 'Description shareholding "means the left set the alarm, right drum set. Many temple bell tower and an empty position, should where the ring is empty "empty bell". I. The origin and meaning of the bell Many different sources have said that the process of putting bells in temples and are widely used in Chinese temples in any period is determined. However, as historical documents record the tones used in the Zhou Dynasty (557 before the TL-89 TL). Chinese Buddhism has taken on the Bell and Drum monasteries in which and by whom initiated, now we do not find the documents. Documents on the history of bells and drums Bat-elegant indeed rare. However, we rely on a number of documents after provisional traced to their origin. It Quang Hoang Minh Volume (No. 2103) in Tan Chanh Tu Dai Dai Suttas Clerk stated that in the North (420-479) was many bell tower. In the first five Thien Hoa (566) North European life, all Catholic Chung Minh Nhi carved bell three largest college at that time. Two in three were cast in the 570 and 665 TL. Process Cao Increased Stories marked the 5th year life Depending General Business (609), Tri Hoang said he worried the bell at the Meditation Temple in the capital Chang'an. During this period onward, the North European non-stop for an intellectual cast bell in monasteries. Again, the legend that is the bell Chi Cong Hoa Thuong Luong Vo initiated and King Emperor (the VI century) made ​​to pray to the gods of hell is rotten in the place called the place where the U Minh Hoa. There are two types of tones are often used in temples, monasteries as follows: Sanskrit Chung (bell Sanskrit): Also known as "mass", "bell", "general flowering" or "general range". This bell was cast in iron at the green phase. Usually about 1.5 m high bell, about 6 inches in diameter. Hung in the bell tower of this kind, the purpose from time to ring the mass moves files or at press time soon. Vietnamese people often use their "great bell" ring of truth to show, there is almost no specific provisions are much more narrow width. This bell ringing called U Minh. Selling General (bell part): For large dimension with only 1 / 2 bell part, the so-called general sale, also known as "general transformation" or "common state." This Ring usually cast in bronze, about 6 to 8 inches high, usually in a corner to the main hall and is used in the conference sessions, it also known as "joint ceremony." The Vietnam as well as the other days also developed a series of flexible ring as "general sale", but there is no fixed size. On appeal bells, ancient Chinese custom of each sect, each locality that has different regulations, but the start-ups are sometimes three hours and beat fast at the end of 2 hours or 3 hours for the last nine other small bell while chanting. The number of hours usually 18, sometimes 36 hours from time, 108 hours. Every 108 hours represents the practitioner attempts to run away with 108 of inner negativity where. Eighteen hours is indicated for the purification units 6, 6 and 6 of the ceiling. Also, in the heyday of Zen, an intellectual bell in the hall, hall called "ringing up the road", "bell boys" ; bell in the main hall so-called "electric bell" ... Those who take care of this bell calls "common head." According to the belief that echo of the bell can comprehend the gloomy hell, what was being rotten where the hell this by ringing immediately freed. Again, the temple bell elegant species may help to ease hungry ghosts are greed, hatred that lives free from hungry ghosts. In the temple Vietnam today as well as the ancient Chinese pagoda or temple of the Mahayana Buddhist countries such as Japan and Korea. ... Often have a large bell to appeal on two mornings at the day in prayer. Visiting hours in the morning bell at 4 hours or before the meeting to elaborate, according to the provisions of each temple. Claimant has rated ring tones just read the verse: May the general test method's super silent, gloomy, since every cultural period. Van ceiling of pure communication, Nhut set of primary sensory beings. That is: May this ring throughout the legal world, the same set of hearing gloomy, close-up of pure communication, all the primary sensory beings. (The translation of the Venerable Tri Quang, ACT SA-DI,-DI-NI SA, International Buddhist Academy Publishing, 1989). Translation poem: 1 May dharmadhatu bell reverberating hell beings are seen listening to English clean life, of the members for all creatures are enlightened. (Thich Nhat Tu translation) second chapel bell reverberating the realms of darkness Mount Set For hearing or settled away clean sound rather enlightened beings, showing an However. (Thich Nhat Tu translation) II. Origin and meaning of Mo Tai Tam The Map Book The life of King Minh Integration with the "Mo is etched into the tree using fish-shaped, hollow inside, it gives a voice type, the Buddhists of the are used to praise it. " Mo has two types: long straight type fish hanging in the warehouse, cafeteria ... as to the soup supper, then type it to signal. This type of fat used in ancient Chinese temples; the temples, monasteries in Vietnam is not used. Types of fish scales rolled recite it when typing. This category all of China, Vietnam, Japan and Korea were used. This type of fat is said to appear under the Ming Dynasty, China. The Wutai Mountain Zen Book Signing Location (volume 3), Tong Tong, Hy Ninh year 5 day of August 8 record: in the Holy Thai a statue of his Deputy Chief of Si. Every time he wants to meet with the first practice where high-momentum paint, just type the open, after you came to hear him Mo. Then, the big and small temples were used at the foot of the mountain open to the public gathering. Have people believe that the tissue is subject by Sa-Chi Lin Tang creates, but it sure did not get anything done, because there is no clear historical documents. To book Tu Uyen Thanh Quy Church (lower atmosphere, the gas law) have recorded the legend that a monk master by contrast, measures that have threatened to destroy the body structure, on the back of the fish that grows a tree, each waves to the winds, causing blood relatives, it is suffering immensely. Once, the teacher Guru over the ocean, it's unreasonable to say that he did not teach it so it must be new threats to the body structure like this, so now he wants vengeance. Then, the teacher told him fish-exchange shop should repent, because He was also the fish that pray and pray day and night notes that it is of life. Bon Master Teacher immediately brought into the tree he carved fish and hook up to alert the public. Maybe for this reason as well tissues later round or engraved on the fish open to the public warning. According to the book like it, briefly stated that bell, opened, the stone, the wood, open all capable of sound when typing in a hearing and ask that the public should gather all kinds which are packages called panicles. Book Bach Sac Tu Truong Thanh Quy, Air France said the chapter dinner or when visiting popular they were typed up open. From this we can understand at first long beak (type 1) is used to gather them up. But why the two types of tissue are carved fish? Book Bach Sac Tu Truong Thanh Quy said that because the fish around the clock all provinces should be carved fish for each type, we have to remind myself awake, do not have more bass, prize incentives. Tiếng open with the purpose is to keep the farm to the public while chanting classic rhythm. III. The origin and meaning of Drum Drum is one of the musical instrument, usually made ​​of stone, trees, copper, etc. ... Xua in India used to tell time, warning. When the Buddha in the world, they use it to gather up the Bodhisattva, hearing solutions ... Five The Law says: "text published monks - slapping, any time we set. Spokesman: panicle sued disadvantages, disadvantages We ... ". Ancient Chinese used it in several occasions buds, dance ... have to type, small, or hang on the shelf ... drum to drum called a pipe, a small drum called a chain, hanging space to judge called a suspension ... From Tang later, the sound of the Zen master, in the course is one of the gas used as legal orders at press time soon. Later Chinese Buddhism is a further step to coordinate rhythmic sound of drums mix with acclaim, popular in dance music, called "technical music offerings, the VTP dignified", using sound as Dharma, mass development assistance into glass heart with jewels. Who took the boxes to the monastery? What year? We have not found the document to give a hypothetical possibility. However, based on a translation Korean Zen Master to the Grand Palace and the Street Du Apostolic Constitution 820 years, we see the bells and drums have been used extensively in Buddhist rituals. Therefore, at least, we predict that before the year 820, the drum has been put into the temple to make gas law. Today, there are a few rituals celebrated in the central and southern small space to use for your support Master the praise. The ritual of praise is probably also influenced by Chinese Buddhist, because of the chanting of Buddhist China has spread, and the small drum (known as the Vietnamese alone or in COM) is as a gas law. Bat-elegant cat and symbolic meaning: - initially hit enter 2 hours: just to denote information content (the legal world and legal world of text message, do not hesitate). - next 3 hours (1 hour each): represents the first stage refuge in the Three Jewels, may terminate cache poisoning: greed, hatred and delusion. - 7 hours later (7 and 8 hours for urgent evaluation, included to 1 hour), representing the Bat Nha Thinh Phat THE SHANGHAI ROAD, visiting Buddhist News wins court legal work. - If 7 to 8 hours, this calculation: represents the sentence "MA HA DA Prajna Paramita" or BAT Complementary Thinh Phat proved, that a visiting Buddhist prove legal work. - Finally beat off four hours: the entries represent the pedestal. IV. Some other ideas 1) Some idea of the use of bells, drums, opened in India and other countries according to the book A Dictionary of Symbols (London, 1962, p. 23) says that the sound of the bell is a symbol of power for innovation. Hanging bell symbolizes the mystery of heaven and earth. The shape of the bell came from the sky image. India has said bell used on 2000 years ago, and perhaps the tone is widely used in court, especially in the temples. The art forms like sculpture ring beam appears at the beginning of Buddhism can be found on the bas-relief on the pillar of King Asoka (A-training) and the tower-profit enshrined relics of the Buddha. Not in India which even neighboring countries influenced the culture of India thought as Sri Lanka, Burma, also use bells, drums and later again, to express the faith of the person praying , and specifically the termination of a key ceremony. In the occasion of commemoration of the Buddha, the bell is used in combination with some other instruments like drums, flutes to express reverence for the Buddha. Saddharmalankara work, a literary medieval religion of Sri Lanka stated that bells were first used in Sri Lanka on special occasions as they summon up. Later it gradually became part of the ritual offering of music ('sabda-Puja) to the Buddha. Tibetan Buddhists believe that when their mantras, because of their strength back tones that spell user will want to place ten thousand, to alleviate the suffering of life. So Tibetan hand bells manufactured in various sizes for both believers and maintenance concepts for the bell big rolled back believers. Of course, all kinds of ringtones available in India beginning unlike other space in today's bell China or Vietnam, Japan, Korea. In China the boxes are only used force to end the battle. Bell (a form of gong) is used as a sign of withdrawal. In the event of a natural fact of non-communication that refers to the use of this instrument. In the majority also to summon the three military generals who petition in the shop or office. This drum is widely used among the following officials to execute criminals in the legal way. 2) The mystery of language Khanh As far as the angels record the behavior of some of your meditation, then opening hours have a huge effect on people who meditate. Once the mediator has on the floor meditating as "anti-life concept of" the sky despite long landslide body and mind of him real well. However, only a small opening hours is enough to wake him up. His story is a typical Van Damage, in an ecstasy meditation lasts a week, you've used other Master inaugurated the wake of his production. Final, wish your body and mind often lay peacefully , every effort made ​​to improve the practice and his mind. Prajna bell in the pagoda What is useful?
