Well, the Mahayana view (the Tibetans share this too) is that one must sometimes "breach" a Precept for the right reasons or, better said, it is not a "breach" depending on the context. I think the Buddha was probably talking about ancient Indian equivalent of Studio 54 and CBGBs (both also "ancient" now).

I'm sorry, my post was not supposed to be a serious comment on the Vinaya / Precepts (with respect to music), just me being a goofball.

Thank you for the videos though. The Shomyo is something I'll definitely need to look into more!

Thank you all for the dance.

Sekishi, without any knowledge about the differences in Buddhism, I really enjoyed the Beastie Boys and your effort with the text.

The Shomyo encouraged my hope to learn Hannya Shingyo in Japanese, but I notice I find it hard without having "meaningful" words
(My latest laps after I thought I had the English version memorized was "... set forth this mantra and complain..." )

So I've found a kind of literal translation into German (Kanji/Romaji/German word/text):

I don't know if this website might be of help to English speaking people on a similar quest (don't know about the quality):

Good luck and keep on dancing!

I came here today to say "thank you all" for the sit. Thank you...and thank you all for the inspiration of infectious music and dance and words! Such joy!! I would watch in entirety but my data minutes are prohibiting me for long (over 15 minutes) videos. The sounds linger and and I am grateful.

Gassho,

Intersting music, lively children a keen visitor and the dancing kept me warm here at midnight in the mountains where we are about to get snow!!! Thankyou Jundo and everybody who danced and warmed me up just a little bit more lol

Sekishi thanks for the video, im a pretty big BB fan but id not heard that track before, and such a eautiful translation for it too!

Seems like its been a particularily joyful week of reflections, great timing for my life - THANKYOU ALL!!
