Comments on: Tendai Buddhist Liturgy http://japanlifeandreligion.com/2009/03/13/tendai-buddhist-liturgy/ My life as a father, Buddhist and Japanophile.

Thanks for the kind words, and glad this is of some help. I think one of the links from that same site also had the texts on there written out, but nothing in Japanese. I bet they're not aware of the increasing interest among English-speakers, and my Japanese isn't good enough to ask for a transliteration. I suppose it's something we can do. For what it's worth, I've been gradually transliterating a Tendai prayer service book among the Buddhist texts section above. The Heart Sutra, 10-verse Kannon Sutra and Kannon Sutra (work in progress) are all from the same book. The more obscure liturgy is something specific to their branch of Tendai, and I am not sure it's well-known outside of this. :-/ Now that you mention it, I may try to transliterate, time permitting. The blog here exists for that reason: to make Japan, Buddhism and Japanese religious info more accessible, so I will try my best. :) Howdy Bryan and welcome to the JLR!

I have enjoyed your blog from time to time, but the benefit of this entry is enormous. I am using this (the audio files) to improve my pronunciation here in an area with no other known Tendai practitioners. Has a transliteration of their Gongyo turned up? It looks like some of this shows up in Japanese on their site. I have some of this already, but there are portions that I am not familiar with. Thanks again, Gassho, Bryan_jh Thanks Very Much!!!
