Mross highlights in particular the importance of the sonic dimension in rituals. Scholars of Buddhist and ritual studies have largely overlooked the soundscapes of rituals despite the importance of music for many ritual specialists and the close connection between the acquisition of ritual expertise and learning to vocalize sacred texts or play musical instruments. Indeed, Soto clerics strive to perfect their vocal skills and view koshiki and the singing of liturgical texts as vital Zen practices and an expression of buddhahood--similar to seated meditation.
Innovative and groundbreaking, Memory, Music, Manuscripts is the first in-depth study of koshiki in Zen Buddhism and the first monograph in English on this influential liturgical genre. A companion website featuring video recordings of selected koshiki performances is available at https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/dq109wp7548.
