I. the origin and meaning of the Bell

Many different sources are given that the process of putting a Bell on monasteries and is widely used in Chinese monasteries at the time would not be identified. However, as historical records the bells have been used in the Zhou dynasty (557 before TL-TL 89). Buddhism in China has put bells and Drums on the year and by who proposed, so far we haven't found documentation. Documents on the history of the Bell and drum Bowl-rare indeed is the elegant. However, we rely on some of the following documents to trace their origin.

Hong Minh Promo book Volume (2103) in Front of Tu Chanh Tripitaka inscribed into the continental Court (420-479) had many belfry. Year the 5th Republic (566) in North Africa, the life of the second higher education Proved to be engraved on three great pink single. Two of the 3 this one is cast in 570 and 665 TL.

Continue to Increase the record series High fifth life Custom College Career (609), he Hung a Bell in the care recipient Decorated the Temple of meditation in the capital Chang'an. in this period and onwards, North Africa non stop casting Hong chung to an in the monasteries.

Again, according to legend that Hong chung is by Monk Releases The King of Martial Emperor Liang initiated and (VI century) made to pray for the spirit is fallen in Chinese hell that designation is called the Prince of the U.

There are two types of bells are often used in the monasteries of the Institute are as follows:

Sanskrit (Sanskrit Bell): Also called the "great General", "pink", "United" or "located". This Bell was cast in bronze green tinge less iron. Usually stands about 1.5 m, a diameter of about 6 feet. This sort of hanging in the belfry, the Bell is a visiting purpose to mass or an early forecast for the evening. The Vietnamese people themselves often use the word "great" just to kind of ringing true to, almost no longer have specific rules as to how much narrower. This is known as the Bell ringing the U.

General sale (sale Bell): Because only large dimension 1/2 tone the Sanskrit, so called general sale, also known as "the human centipede" or "minor." The bells are commonly cast bronze, about 6 to 8 feet, usually to in 1 corner in Chief power and is used in the French Assembly sessions, should also have the other name is "General ceremony." The Vietnam as well as other countries nowadays also flexible manufacturing many types of bells as "general sale", but also no fixed size.

On ancient Chinese bells, sometimes customize each sectarian, locality that has different rules, but in General is the beginning and the end of three hours, sometimes for hitting, or 3 fast 2 Islam, the kind of small bells for nine when chanting. The number is usually 18, sometimes, 36, 108, occasionally. Sometimes, the 108 denote practitioners attempt to transcend the 108 defilements kind sweet inner place. Eighteen hours is indicated the purification of 6, 6 and 6.

Also, in the heyday of Zen Buddhism, the Bell of an entertainment Hall, son of the road called "ringing bells", "sugar increases son"; Bell to at the Chief Justice called "electric Bell" ... The handle of this Bell called "General head."

Theoniềm believe that the echo of the ringing can be spherical to the realms of hell beings, overcast would be fallen where hell thanks to hear this ringing sailings are freed. Again, the temple's elegant Bell can help for hungry demon species are slightly less greed, anger that freed fuck hungry daemons. In the current Vietnam temple as well as the ancient Chinese pagoda or Temple of the Mahayana Buddhism such as Japan, Korea. ... usually has a large Bell to sometimes on two mornings during the dark days when praying. Visiting hours at the morning Bell 4 hours or before the time of the morning, according to the regulations of each temple. People sometimes just Bell bells have just read shelf:

II. Origin of adjustable wrenches and meaning

According to the books of the Association Area Map Resources Tam Ming "soldering tools is the type that use trees carved into the fish, hollow inside, type it will play out, the Buddhists when lauded are used to it."

Soldering tools have 2 types:

Types of straight long fish hanging in the shed, home to eat ... when to use a rice porridge, then knocked it to signal. Types of soldering tools are only used in the ancient Chinese pagoda; the monasteries in Vietnam are not used.

Types of scaly fish roll, when chanting the type. This kind of China, Vietnam, Japan and Korea are used. This type of soldering tools is said to appear in the Ming dynasty, China.

According to join the Meditation Mount Wutai (vol. 3), Song Shenzong, Ninh fifth day August 8 Note: In Thai the Thanh pagoda have worshipped the statue the Vice Great Singer. Every time You want to see the first almond-da tu high place painted, just type adjustable wrenches, Jesus after hearing the trumpet keys associated to him. Then, the large monastery is under the foot of all user adjustable wrenches to assemble. Have people for that soldering tools is by Sa-Lam Chi Street-life subjects created, but this also doesn't get anything done, because there is no clear historical record. The book Raises the bar as flexible Education Overhaul rules (vol. down, part of Air France) have recorded the myth that there is an Increase due to the cancellation of the French master, which was a reflective đoạ do fish incarnation, on the back of the fish he grows a tree, every time the waves to great wind itself up blood, real suffering immensely. Once she masters the duty Counsel across the sea, which it wants to reclaim the instant debt said that: the master didn't teach it so it must be đoạ do fish body like this, so far it wanted to nemesis. Then, he said teachers should repent-fish, him also because fish that hyper sphere and uncle night it was harsh. Teachers the duty to Counsel her return sailings chipped into the fish and hook up to the scene. Maybe for this reason the soldering tools or later round-shaped carved fish on adjustable wrenches to the scene.

According to the book Like Weak A record that Shows: Bell, Khanh, a rock, a wood, soldering tools have the potential to emit a sound when typing in and thanks to hear that that mass gathering should be the kind that are called qian'an County Club.

The book Brilliantly Tu Thanh Quy, the staff of the French Encyclopedia of gas also said when dinner or when visiting them steadily increased spectrum type soldering tools. From this we can understand at first long trumpet keys (type 1) is used to assemble to increase them.

But why two adjustable wrenches are carving a fish? The book Brilliantly Tu Thanh Quy said that because Thy Cypress species of fish throughout the day and night are the fish-shaped carving, to each type, we remind themselves to awakening, shalt not have postpartum depression, marriage.

The soldering tools with the main purpose is to keep the market for mass soup when litigation is classic for rhythm.

III. The origins and meanings of the drum

The drum is a kind of music in the air, usually made of stone, tree, etc. In ancient India used to quote time, warned. When the Buddha left in the world, use it to assemble them Increase Claims-slapped, heard France ... The five Part of laws that says: "Chu Bhikkhu-stilts-slaps, real time. Buddha quotations: weak weak "," Club "Qianwei County residency and neck...". Ancient Chinese used it in various occasions, prom. .. Kind of have to, small, hanging or on prices ... Drums to pipe, small drum called called drum, hanging to called the drum hanging ...

From the life on the Street later, according to the bar rules of meditation, the drums are one French type gas do signal early forecast for dinner. Later Chinese Buddhism closer is to coordinate the rhythm, the sound of drumming together the words, the musical spectrum, called "digital music donation, dignified shume", used sound to do the Buddha, help the broadcasting center of mass of the glass with the three jewels.

Who took the drum into the monasteries? The year? We have yet to find the material to give a possible hypothesis. However, based on a translation of the article Teacher Crazy College and South Korea Took Xianzong forecast the year 820, we see the bells and drums were used extensively in Buddhist rituals. So at least we guess is before the year 820, drums were brought to the temple to make Air France.

Today, there are a few etiquette lauded in Central and southern use small drums to aid you when Master lauded. These types of etiquette lauded this probably also influenced by Chinese Buddhism, because the time of litigation of Chinese Buddhism are riveted, and kind of this small drum (called Drums or Vietnamese Rice) was also viewed as a kind of Air France.

The way drummers and bat-sense logos:

-New burners added 2: denote NH IMPERIAL pine content (France and French media content world, do not stop concerned).

-3 hours (every 1 hour): represents the early stage refuge vows end to tam TAM, except poison: take part, si.

-7 hours later (since the 7th and 8th fold, included the hit 1 hour), symbolize the BUDDHA SOMETIMES UNCIVIL SOCIETY of UPPER STREET, a visiting French news Buddha promoted to court.

-If this computer 8 hours: represents the phrase "MA HA UNCIVIL THREE LA SUITE" or SOMETIMES UNCIVIL SOCIETY for BUDDHIST HYBRID PROVES, the work of a visiting French Buddha demonstrated.

-Final ended 4: represents the certificate enter the TETRARCHY.

IV. Some other ideas

1) Few ideas about the use of bells, drums, unveiling in India and other countries

According to the book A Dictionary of Symbols (London, 1962, page 23) that the sound of the Bell is a symbol of creative capacity. Hanging bells symbolize the Mystic of the heavens and the Earth. The shape of the Bell comes from the iconic dome.

India has said the use of bells over 2000 years ago, and perhaps the tones are used extensively in court, especially in the monasteries. The forms of art such as sculptures beam bells appeared in the beginning of Buddhism can be found on the reliefs on the head stone of King Asoka (A-) and other religious property of-decorated Tower Buddha. Not in India where even neighboring countries influenced the culture of thought India as Ceylon Burma, phone # also use bells, and later both drums again, to signify the heart of prayers, and specifically upon the termination of a course.

In the occasion of commemorating the Buddha, the bells are used along with some other instrument like the drums, flute to manifest the Buddha reverence. Saddharmàlankàra compositions, a religious literary works the middle of the area of Milan: the first tones are used in Ceylon on special occasions such as the convening of increasing them. Later it became a part of the donation ceremony music (' sabda-pùjà) for the Buddha.

Tibetan Buddhists believe that when they spell, thanks to the strength of their bells spin that the spell will go where the great wall direction, make less suffering of life. So Tibetan Buddhism many handheld Bell size constraints for the faithful and the maintenance of large roller bells to the faithful.

Of course the types of empty bells in India initially is not the same with the kind of ringing drums today in China or Vietnam, Japan, Korea. China drum were only used to end military battle. Bell (a form of Gong) are used as signs of withdrawal. In the international ceremony of God didn't see mention of the use of this instrument. The drums also largely to summon three army generals or calling for oan in the door. Drum type n y was used extensively later in world officials to execute sinners in the way.

2) The mystery of the Unveiling

According to the recorded history of meditation through the behavior of some teachers, then the huge effects unveiling for the meditation. Once practitioners have on the meditation like "kill the ideal life" despite the Sun long land mind she's cold. However, with only a few small encyclopedia, Khanh well enough to wake him up. The story He Damaged Van is a typical, in a meditation zone lasted all week, Jesus Venerable used another unveiling that awakened Him to export.

Last reply, wished you upasaka mind usually peacefully, constant effort made the donation and his mind cultivation.
