Chanting can bring relief to anxiety, fear and worry, allowing oneself to calm and purify the mind; develop equanimity; and learn and practice the art of letting go. The Pentatonic Buddhist Chant, a Pure Land Buddhist practice, is done in five parts of different vocals and tempos, conveying the tranquility and sincerity of the chanters.
Based on a text more than 1,200 years old passed down by Master Fazhao of the Tang Dynasty, the performance features chants rearranged by Master Kuan Pen of the 20th Century in his book Chamber of Scent and Light. Integrating the art of contemporary theatre and traditional Buddhist rituals, Buddhist Chants in Scent and
Light explores the heritage and innovation of the art of Buddhist vocal practices.
