"Why Do We Chant?"

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.
