Recitation of the Daihannya Sutra
The Daihannyakyō Tendoku is one of the most important rituals of Japanese Buddhism. It features the Great Sutra on the Perfection of Wisdom, the longest text in the Buddhist canon. Since it is impossible to recite the whole sutra, clerics skim through the text by having the pages of the book quickly glide from one hand to other. Called ‘rolling reading’, this recitation is a dramatic visual effect of accordion-like sutra pages cascading through the air paired with the sound of loud voices. The ritual creates what the priests call a ‘wind of wisdom’.
