What is Chanting

甚麼是諗誦

In Buddhism, sound is considered sacred and holds the ability to cleanse the emotional energies of the body. Sound, by way of speech, is a doorway to the energetic dimensions (vibrations). In chanting, sacred mantras and sutras are repeated rhythmically, in succession.

在佛教中，聲音被認為是神聖的，被認為具有淨化身體情感能量的能力。 言語的聲音是通往能量維度（振動）的門。 在諗誦時，有節奏地重複神聖的咒語和佛經。
