johnl: Ask the person living a floor below you what he or she thinks. Just kidding. I once lived under someone who played bongo drums above me.

stephen: Wow, I missed that excellent quotation. Thanks for the excellent catch. That’s an even stronger link than what I found.

In the Contemplation Sutra also mentions we should visualise the Sun as a drum,

“Clearly gaze at the sun, with mind firmly fixed on it; concentrate your sight and do not let it wander from the setting sun, which is like a drum suspended above the horizon. ”

Interesting correlations, thank you.

As a drum player (tsuzumi), I found this very interesting. However, my drum has only a bit of gold leaf on it. And I don’t think my drumming can end suffering or bring enlightenment, but one can hope, I suppose! (One can also hope my drumming doesn’t *cause* suffering! LOL)
