Timer sounds with Mokugyo

Post by Justmeagain »

Sorry if this isn't the right [art of the forum.

I am looking to create my own timer (personal not commercial). I would like to use the Mokugyo introduction that I often hear used before the final three gongs to announce a formal Zazen session has begun.

Does anyone know where I can get these sounds or even a pre-recorded version?

Thanks

i am not sure what do you mean by mokugyo before 3 bells to announce zazen... mokugyo is rather used for sutra recitation.. what is used before zazen is moppan which is hit 3 times http://www.shomonji.or.jp/zazen/moppan.gif this is typical soto moppan..

Or maybe OP means taku before hitting the inkin?

this one http://www.jyofukuji.com/06kokoro/-1999 ... moppan.jpg is typical rinzai moppan which is square and writting is mostly simple 4 charakters, 'the great matter of birth and death' soto one has longer addmonition...
the one on the picture belongs to rinzai line of Daitokuji branch ...

yeah ok, but it is not used in soto for zazen, neither inkin is used to time zazen periods.. in soto they would use moppan in gaitan and densho in naitan.. it is from Zuiryuji http://image.space.rakuten.co.jp/lg01/2 ... ikdzj.jpeg

Thanks, that's interesting. After I posted I thought maybe in Soto places it is a little different...nice to know.

Here's the han my teacher made for our place:

this one looks like more like soto moppan.. however soto moppan has very precise measurments... one may find in soto manuals

I don't know much about Soto things, but have seen various shapes/inscriptions at Rinzai places. The teacher who wrote this one was from Tenryuji-ha...
