Chanting

 

Yebul is a ceremonial service to praise Buddha. This solemn ceremonial service is held 3 times a day; in the morning, midday and evening helping to clear one’s mind. There are three types of chants, prayers for the benefit of all beings, sutras, and mantras.  The words, except for the mantras, are transliterations of Chinese words in Korean.  During chanting, each sound has its own meaning which can penetrate the consciousness; this is why the chants are sung like mantras, for the power of the sounds.  In parallel, teaching explains the meaning of the words, so that the sense will echo in the mind and help us deepen our practice.
