WARRIOR TEMPLE BELLS 01
Warrior Sounds of Purification
A Bonsho (also known as Tsurigane) is a large hanging temple bell. It is suspended inside
a Shoro constructed specifically to house the bell. The Japanese character "bon" is used to express purity.
Listening to the Bonsho may remind us of the words found in the beginning of the Heike
Mono-gatari: "The voice of the bell at
resounds with (the teaching of) all conditioned things are impermanent..." Bonsho are struck 108 times on New Year's Eve
in Japan to purge humankind of the 108 Buddhist sins. Striking the Bonsho is
associated with striking against evil.
