We began our chanting experience with the How To Chant: The Juseige course. This course will move on to the Sanbutsuge, another foundational Shin Buddhist chant from the Larger Sutra of Immeasurable Life, written in the first century CE. We will experience both its significance and meaning as we learn how to chant it!
