    By the way, I am thinking that we may dance the Heart Sutra today ...

    The Hatsune Miku vocaloid?

    Hatsune Miku the Vocaloid sings the heart of Zen."What is being that is nothingness, what is nothingness that is being.""Heart Sutra" is called "Hannya Shing...


    This R&B version?

    This "live" version of the above Hatsune Miku vocaloid is just silly ...

    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

        Also, the old faithful Amida Studio rap ...

        EVISBEATS『AMIDA』2008.12.12 CDアルバム発売


        Any preference in chanting?

        Remember that Preferences are precisely Emptiness, Emptiness just Hatsune Miku.

        But I think it may be this ...

            Just no twerking, no twerking please.

            I am referring to you, Daizan!

            And Jishin, please keep the Buddha Tattoo inside the shirt. Thank you.

              Going to put my head into a bucket of ice water, to make the pictures go away.

              Are we saving these events for the 11th anniversary?

                  Thank you, Jundo. I will join two-way, technology allowing. I liked the rap version of the Heart Sutra.

                    I will meditate for all those who are suffering due to the EarthQuakes in Japan. May they be free from suffering. I truly wish I could go to Japan and help those that need it*gassho*
