Gõ Mõ Tụng Kinh

Why should you use a bell when chanting?
Blessing bells and amulets are considered the two most important tools chosen by Buddhists while chanting and reciting Buddha's name at home. Bells are used in ceremonies and chanting. The ringing of the bells is considered as control commands for the ceremony to take place in the right direction and in the order of the ceremonies. Thanks to this, those who come to the chanting ceremony will be in harmony, have the purest mind and always focus on chanting.

Besides the blessing bell, the mu is also a very meaningful tool for chanting. The most standard way of percussion chanting needs to be able to emit a mighty deep sound but exude a holy look. For chanting, the sound of the mule will be effective in helping to maintain a harmonious and regular rhythm. Those who chant when they hear the knocking sound will help their mind to be more alert, not drowsy and wild.

This is also one of the reasons why the body and the beak are carved in the shape of a fish, an animal that does not close its eyes while sleeping. The way of knocking when chanting will help the masses to be happier and more joyful. As a result, they will be single-minded and fulfill their duties.
