    The Esplanade Concourse. By Shan Guang Buddhist Vihara (Singapore)
    Mahayana Buddhist Chants





    Han Buddhism was introduced from India to the Han Dynasty through the western region some 2,000 years ago. As it developed in both northern and southern dynasties, many Buddhists emperors had a large number of scriptures translated, giving rise to its study and scholarly activity. The development of Buddhist patha music gained momentum and eventually grew into a variety of genres that support the expression of faith through music.

    Shan Guang Buddhist Vihara presents a programme of chants used in rituals for blessings and funerals. They will be accompanied on instruments such as bells, chimes, dizi, yangqin, drums, gongs and cymbals.

    About Shan Guang Buddhist Vihara
    Shan Guang Buddhist Vihara was founded by Rev. Hsiongcai who is ordained under the Kempon Hokke Buddhist Order of Priesthood, which preaches an uncompromising resolution through faith in the Lotus Sutra as revealed by Buddha.

    The group comprises passionate people who have more than 10 years of experience in Buddhist music. The Vihara regularly performs chants at Buddhist ritual ceremonies.
