At One Mind Zen, we chant because...well, that's what we do. It's part of our regular service, so we do it. But another "why" is the purpose it serves--to get us out of our fixation on our Selves. We chant to join each other in together action, paying attention to each other--the words, the beat of the moktak, but also paying attention to ourselves, that we're working with the others who are chanting. Small I chants to Big I. Myeong Jin gives the Dharma talk from November 9m, 2022.
