I. The origin and meaning of the chapter:Many different sources have said that the process of bringing in a monastery bell and is widely used in Chinese temples in any period is not defined. However, according to historical records, the bell was used in the Zhou Dynasty (before 557 TL-89 TL) in China. Chinese Buddhist bell and drum were taken into monasteries years, and by whom initiated, at present we have not found the documentation. Documents on the history of the bell and drum Prajna is rare indeed. However, we rely on a little later to temporary material traceability:
The book Quang Hoang Minh City (No. 2103) in Tan Chanh Dai Tu Tripitaka note that at the time of tide (420-479) had more steeple. Thien Hoa 5th year (566) North European life, all carved Second Church demonstrated on three big bell largest at that time. 2 units in 3 was cast in the 570 and 665 TL.

Again, according to the common myth that pink is so initiating Venerable Chi Cong Liang emperor and king (so sixth century) made to pray for the oppressed consciousness in hell called the U Minh place.
During the Diamond Sutra Chi also written: "King Emperor Cao Hieu Tang solo goodness because I heard Sam Qi Qiu Tong's where my guys killed the wrong middle name is Hoa Chau, should the king die sink into hell. One day there was a violent death (sudden death) spirits her away into hell, that a sinner is shackled, beaten grip was so miserable, they said they are asking the king Hieu Cao Tang. King referred to the violent death in which he said that: Thanks you back to earth to help with post-lord said unto me, but molded bell for donations and doing charity work. When he returned to earth, the first post and immediately visited the Princess to transfer the message of the king high. Hearing this, Miss Temple Pagoda Thanh Luong personally vow to cast a bell to make offerings and pray for the emperor Cao Hieu ". (Built-in feature this mature Bach Regulations, page 68 and 87).
In the poem Duong Thi Truong Plan (the Tabernacle), describes a night in the boat, South San hear the temple bell echoes. The poem is a masterpiece, involving bells, pagodas and time, has caused much debate and many translations, it is worthwhile to copy out here: Resonance dew chronic problem optimistic bias box, Jiang afterlife bedroom fire free. exchange of Korean Son Co Tu, have sold them the boat Qingdao hotels. thawed Services: moon mist evil caw, Fire fishing, the lake's plant kingdom behind. boats who parked Co, heard Midnight South San temple bell.

Coto Foreign Street South Temple, Midnight rings dropped into waiting boats. never invited to ring at midnight or midnight, so the author Zhang Ke was wrong, but people often think poets must have remarked, properly recorded and the letters you have new, so after posing for a reasonable conversation with a poem: "There is a temple abbot South San, a night on the 3 or 4th st improvisational feel the effects of poetry : Some words of eight periods vague, question bank shot from selling self. then all attention, not struggling to find the two sentences. Also there that night outside the State notes, see the puddle under the moon in shadow.

Cooking is done, fix up: Ming bay paint probes, Royal Canine Crouching floral tones . bald mountain moon, flower ball, the dog is reasonable, and poems too! Back after Su Dongpo harsh measures against the United Tan An Thach be banished to the South Pole region. Until the land, Su Dongpo know there is a type of bird called "Ming-circle" and a worm is "Yellow dog"!The bell type often used in pagodas, monasteries: a) general section (chapters): Also known as "mass", "bell", "common flowers" or "general resistance".

Bell also known as U Minh bell. b) general sale (selling bell): As large dimension only half chapters, so-called semi-joint, also known as "general conversion" or "general primary." Bell often cast bronze, about 6 to 8 inches high, usually in one corner to the main hall and is used in the conference sessions, so also known as "common worship." The Vietnam as well as other countries today also flexible manufacturing many kinds of bell shape "general sale", but there is no fixed size. c) Make generic (them bells): Also known as bell Increase line, ie a small bell, only to get a laptop. The shape as well as big bell, which hung in the dining hall, to inform them know at the time Increase: Mass Meeting, meal, work hours approval, Bai time in the monastery. d) shared values (tone value): This type of ring to beat up while chanting, Bai. The bell is used before chanting or signs coming out passages or verses are recited Buddha proceedings. It usually is considered when Lord Buddha himself. And when people are crowded together to signal for rhythmic bowing. Bell blessings available in three types of large, medium and small. The bell is small and laypeople often use more and also used as monks. During the heyday of Zen Buddhism, meditation bell in place security halls called "Increase our way", "Boy General" ; bell to the main hall called "General Electric" ... Those who worry that this bell calls "pain." On the appeal (review) bell, ancient Chinese custom in each sect, each locality that other provisions each other, but overall is the start time to 3 hours and hit fast finishing third in 2 hours or nine hours for the kind of small bell while chanting. The number is usually 18 hours, sometimes 36 hours from time, 108 hours. Some 108 languages denotes practitioners attempt to run away with 108 kinds of afflictions in our hearts. Eighteen hours is indicated based on the purification of 6, 6 and 6 form the ceiling. According to the belief that the bell echoes can be entered into the murky realms of hell, where living beings fall into hell by listening to the bells be freed immediately. Again, serene temple bell can help alleviate hunger demon greed, anger that lives freed from ghosts. In the present temple Vietnam as well as the ancient Chinese pagoda or temple of the Mahayana Buddhist countries like Japan, Korea ... usually big bell to appeal to two in the morning dark days when demand prayer. Now the morning bell at 4 am or before the morning tea, depending on the regulations of each temple.

Drum is one of the musical instrument, usually made of stone, trees, and so on ... Then in India used to tell time, warning. When the Buddha was alive, we used it to gather Increase Bodhisattva, hear legal ...

So, according to him, every time he heard the language as it was flying himself to his ear, or ear he came to speak with the voice of him? ". (This is the only time the Buddha to Ananda Center )
ancient Chinese used it for ceremonial occasions, prom ... There are large, small, or hang on a rack type ... drum major called the ship, called in the small, hang to hang drum beat called ...
From Tang later, according to the rules of sound meditation subjects, drums is one of the effective methods used for air alerts the early evening. Later Chinese Buddhism is another step forward to coordinate the rhythm, the sound of drum mixed with acclaim, the musical spectrum, known as "technical music offerings; solemn ashrams ", using sound as Buddhist, support mass from the lens center to the Three Jewels.
Who gave the drum in a monastery? What year? We have not found materials to make a possible hypothesis. However, based on the translation of Korean Zen Master and Du represent the Apostolic Constitution Street 820 years, we see the bell and drum have been widely used in Buddhist rituals. Therefore, at least we guess that 820 years ago, has been brought into the temple drum to make gas law.
Nowadays, there are a few rituals chanting in central and southern Vietnam using drum to support small for the monks chanting. The kind of ritual chanting probably also influenced by Chinese Buddhist, chanting for the period of Chinese Buddhism has spread, and small drums also be viewed as a kind of air law.
drum use in temples, monasteries there are two types: a. drum major (known as the contemporary folk neck vernacular Vietnam era known as blank): Type in Buddhist ceremonies and celebrations large drum called the Bat elegant. b. empty small (sub-folk known as the neck; vernacular Vietnam aka tambourine): Used to hit up every time chanting also called lenses.

- Prajna chapters:
Actually the word group "empty bell Prajna" refers to the bell and drum rituals according to the verse "Uncivil Society". This is a ritual in Chinese Buddhism spread to Vietnam, perhaps derived from the Apostolic Not so very solemn rites should gradually temples of other sects apply.

Meaning: Uncivil Society, Some Buddha on the throne, heard Mass: Wisdom Audio. prayer throughout France, beings, Wisdom Import, about three dollars security. Perhaps starting bell drum Prajna only elected official up in the great ceremonies of Buddhism, Buddhist or proven to appeal to large celebrations; or Precept; or maul is constantly preach, because in verse have the " upper road Some Buddha " . Today the temple is also used to welcome the monks and nuns. Despite the pick-up a dedicated ambassador visited the temple, there is abuse whether reasonable?

The Book of Tang language, Chinese is written: "There is a clear medical people to ask an Elder at Thien Truc that: - Why the Increased health are hanging wooden bell? Elders replied: - As for static scenes Increase in Increase their health or that monastery. medical white person asked: - But why carve a fish? Elders not answer. The white medicine they turn to him and ask him to explain that: - the species of fish never close their eyes and proper operation. Just because people want to forget to practice day and night sleep, and try to practice, come witness and evaluation results should hang flapper opening and carved fish-shaped so. " increased from Catholic Book Uyen Thanh Quy (lower atmosphere, the legal gas) also recorded a legend that monks protest by teachers, which threatened to cancel law making body of fish, the fish's back to grow a tree, when waves to high winds, causing blood relatives, so suffering immensely. Once, the original teacher across the sea, it's a debt collector immediately want to say that I do not teach it, it may have been threatened fish body such as this, so now he wants revenge. Then, the teacher told the fish should repent, because He was also a man a fish and even volunteer for the super notes that it is cultural night life. The original teacher was immediately brought trees carved into the shape of a fish and hook up to alert the public. Maybe for this reason the latter also widened or fish carved on the wooden bell to alert the public.- OOo -

- Some idea of using bells, drums, inaugurated ... in India and other countries:
said India had used over 2000 years ago, bell and bell probably be widely used in court, especially in the temples. The art forms like sculpture chime appear at the beginning of Buddhism can be found on the bas-relief on the pillars of King Ashoka (Ashoka) and the tower relics of Lord Buddha. Not in India but also neighboring countries heavily influenced the culture of India thought as Sri Lanka, Burma also use bells, drums and later again, to express the sincerity of prayer , and especially when used to terminate a course feast.
During the anniversary of the Buddha, the bell is used along with a number of other instruments such as drums, flutes expression homage to the Buddha. Saddharmalankara work, a religious literature of medieval Sri Lankan record that Bell was first used in Sri Lanka on special occasions such as summoning evidence. Later it gradually became part of the ritual music offerings ('Sabda-puja) to the Buddha.
Tibetan Buddhists believe that when they mantras, ringing in the strength of their rotation that spells want to go where thousands oriented, alleviating the suffering of life. So Tibetan Buddhist hand bell manufactured in various sizes for both believers and recitation of the big bell to roll Quakers.

- The mystery of the opening hours:
At each temple to celebrate, before the start and after the end of the ceremony are invited chapter in Bat Nha.
- Prajna chapter in what will be used in the temple?
Prajna chapter in use from time to time to the Buddha and the monks together toward the generator to demonstrate Upcoming ceremony was solemn purity.
empty echo of the bell will integrate Prajna wisdom along with Buddha's wisdom into a single substance.
