I have a lot of respect for him not only did he find a way to join together the two things he loves, but he's bringing life back into the temple and putting a new spin on things. Loved this!
Like with everything else, Japanese people are next level. The people, society, and country are both very modern, setting trends for the rest of us, but are extremely traditional as well. Don't think there's any other place or people like them. They're really amazing.
"Today we gathered to praise and pray our God's for the protection and guidance they give us in our lives.... And now we're gonna hear the sickest and holiest beats there'll ever be dedicated to our faith in them."
The hymns recited by the Buddhist Monks gives me goosebumps because it is really beautiful and now the blend of Techno music is something I don't want to miss when visiting to Japan!!!!
This is inspiration at its finest he found the light in music and brought it back to his temple to share with the rest of the people. Saving people with his beats.
I don't know if this is a coincidence but "Asakura" is the last name of main character in Shaman King anime, and in the same anime there are also a couple of monks that fuse rock n roll with sutras
Buddhism, at its core, doesn't see "gods" like how most other religions see it... So it's kinda up to the sect which kind of -theist they actually are...
Yea but buddhism still preports a lot of extra reality stuff that is excluded by most atheistic arguements. Hard to be taken seriously when you call out some supernatural shmtuff and yet believe in other supernatural stuff.
One can be an atheist and a Buddhist. That's the beauty of Buddhism. I went to a local Zen temple for an intro to Buddhism workshop, announced that I am an atheist (and former Evangelical) in the introductions, and was greeted with NORMALCY and a warm welcome. (This is the complete opposite of my experiences as an Evangelical for 22 years.....hate, shame, rejection, damning-to-hell, etc.)
It's amazing how in Asia, we embrace both the past and the future, both tradition and progression. Meanwhile, in the west, it's only about keep going forward, forget the past.
Just when I thought the video couldn't get any better with that title, he starts off talking about how his family has been protecting the same temple for 540yrs and he's 17th generation...mind = blown!!!:)
Some people probably think that playing this music in the family temple makes his ancestors turn over in their graves... But in reality, it makes them turn up.
“ the only thing constant is change, & if don’t adapt to changes, changes will over run you, your civilization, your religion, your gods. Monks, nuns & laypeople be change you want to see” -- Buddha 2600 years ago.
As far as I understand, the teachings of Buddha are not about elation... they are about elevation beyond the physical realm. I can get into the ambient music to better understand the teachings of Buddha, but it's obvious from the footage that those guests were there for the light show instead. Just sayin'.
FreakNasty52 Nothing to say that you can't make your way into the religion through light shows. Siddhartha himself ain't all that particular as to how his message is spread. For better or worse, he left that part up to his followers by & large. If the guests can get the sutras into their heads better through light shows & beats, well... So be it, i guess...
To modern day Japanese, ANY kind of religion is more of a cultural thing instead of something you adhere or dedicate yourself to. The typical way of going about it in Japan, is to go visiting Shinto shrines during new year's day, get married in churches, & get your funeral done in Buddhist temples. Anything in between is up to personal preference.
On paper, the idea of a DJ monk sounds almost self-contradictory, but in practice, it actually makes a decent amount of sense, given Asakura's explanation.
I’m guessing you’re probably trolling, but in case you’re not, I’m gonna tell you that that’s not true. God gave us music as an instrument to worship HIM. The Book Of Psalms is literally one big hymnal written by David, aka MUSIC.

He bout to drop mad faith up on the temple halls

I have a lot of respect for him not only did he find a way to join together the two things he loves, but he's bringing life back into the temple and putting a new spin on things. Loved this!
I swear they have characters like him in anime the way he's like "I'll bring elation to people with my music" and does so in the holiest of ways
GunmetalGaming I want an anime where he's in it now.
Justin Law Soul Eater
Art imitates Life.

Ville Leinonen and that makes it so incredible
Like with everything else, Japanese people are next level. The people, society, and country are both very modern, setting trends for the rest of us, but are extremely traditional as well. Don't think there's any other place or people like them. They're really amazing.
TLDR; Japan is the weirdest place you'll ever visit.
Doan Hien Nguyen, says the Thai boi.
"Today we gathered to praise and pray our God's for the protection and guidance they give us in our lives.... And now we're gonna hear the sickest and holiest beats there'll ever be dedicated to our faith in them."
Riatz Umm... Buddhism doesn't work like that in terms of prayers & gods & whatnot... But yeah, the beat part is apt...
Riatz I mean, there are gods and prayers, but that's not how they work in Buddhism.
The hymns recited by the Buddhist Monks gives me goosebumps because it is really beautiful and now the blend of Techno music is something I don't want to miss when visiting to Japan!!!!
This looks like Sabbath Party from Devilman but for good people only lol
He about to summoned amon
zozo
Lmao
Holiest beats droppin'
He gonna summon Michael
When the beat drops so head you go to heaven.
This monk is making religion cool again. I Love it!
not like other mainstream religion, Zen Buddhism is all about creative and reasonable, young master write new papers to prove their ability
Ikr! It’s awesome!
Some religions (like evangelical christianity) will NEVER be "cool".
This is so cyberpunk, I can't even.
James Bella Ikr 😂
This isnt cyberpunk this is cyberholy
The only thing the world needs now is a hypebeast monk

Saving people with his beats.

I like how the title is 100% what it seems, and not clickbait. Great job, GREAT BIG STORY.
He’s very handsome
MintPanda I know. I would date his 20 something self if I could...

I don't know if this is a coincidence but "Asakura" is the last name of main character in Shaman King anime, and in the same anime there are also a couple of monks that fuse rock n roll with sutras
Fricken cool! I would go to that temple.
If this monk decided to make a concert or show. Sign me up for a ticket
Wow! An incredible story of getting tradition and evolving lifestyle together in an enriching experience. DJ Monk is awesome!
He’s like the concept low fi hip hop in man form
I love this, carrying tradition while expanding toward modern society it is a great way to connect with today's youth's.
This guy is about to drop the faith
He needs an anime and manga based off him.
shooottt... this monk bout to convert every atheists
Buddhism is not totally against atheism, specially to Zen
Buddhism, at its core, doesn't see "gods" like how most other religions see it... So it's kinda up to the sect which kind of -theist they actually are...
Yea but buddhism still preports a lot of extra reality stuff that is excluded by most atheistic arguements. Hard to be taken seriously when you call out some supernatural shmtuff and yet believe in other supernatural stuff.

The title is so clickbaity and yet at the same time is so true and actually means every word of it. Im amazed .
He was cute when he was younger😀
Vicki Dewi yea he looks like joji lol
I like his older look now. He seems so wise.
He still hot af...and has a nice, calming voice.
Dude have you seen him? He be looking like a holy snacc
Lowkey attracted a little to him in the video as well
That is amazingly cool, the light effects turn the temple completely alive! If there are spirits there they surely are enjoying it.
Techno Buddhism is a great aesthetic
This channel has grown so much since last year, great stuff!
It's amazing how in Asia, we embrace both the past and the future, both tradition and progression. Meanwhile, in the west, it's only about keep going forward, forget the past.
Damn not gonna lie but you can try to beat him in a DJ battle
But I'm *fully* sure that he's gonna win
*_Keeping the tradition and religion while staying relevant_*
- Mom Can I go to the club with my Friends ?
- No !
- Okay... Can we go pray to the temple then ?
- Of course ☺️
Spirituality meets technology
Cool😊
Just when I thought the video couldn't get any better with that title, he starts off talking about how his family has been protecting the same temple for 540yrs and he's 17th generation...mind = blown!!!:)
Japan is on an alternate timeline😂
The best part about Japanese is that they come up with some craziest, unthinkable ideas and somehow make them work!
ipshita ranjana so what
Thats how you spread religion.
Not by forcing people.
I need to visit this temple. As a Buddhist myself, this is very cool.
Japan, always killin’ it.
Japan, the land of DJ Monks. Yes nothing short of coolness from this beautiful country ☺
When will they release Dj Monk Ft Allan Walker - Heavenly Beat Drop?
This is the coolest video I've seen today! Love Japan.
Ang suu kyi and her army needs to visit this temple and take a chill pill
I have respect for how he sees things im the world. He goes with the flow.
Monk type beat
Lmaoooo
i thought people like this only exist in anime or in a movie plot or something. But it prove me wrong
This is why I'm a Theravada buddhist
Bruh

I just added experiencing this Temple to my bucket list. So neat!!!
Next time, Priest Dj hardbass.
He's actually producing music, not just DJing and that makes it cooler.
I'm an atheist, and I would convert to Techno Buddhism.
Italy's got a heavy metal monk, and Japan has a DJ monk. We live in a wonderful world.
I need the song 0:00 - 0:24
Khyron II Same
This the best channel ever.
got to change with the times or get left behind
rtswift Exactly. All religions should do this, unless its followers are OK with their faith and doctrines tragically and gradually dying out.
Some people probably think that playing this music in the family temple makes his ancestors turn over in their graves...
But in reality, it makes them turn up.
可愛い坊さんですよね
Silence seems the best response, but wow... beautiful and thought provoking...
*MY 🅱️UDDA*
Japan is awesome! I wish my people were more like them!!
Am I the only one getting some Samurai Champloo vibes. Nujabes
JM Igcasan Yh, any mix up of samurais and hip-hop remind me of Champloo
DJ Monk , Delivering something wonderful in a spiritual and musical way. I like it. :)
DJ Buddhist monk....looks like he found his schtick.

Religion needs to keep up with the new generation. I come from a Buddhist family, I go to pagoda a lot and I approve of what he's trying to do.
Japanese buddhists? I thought Japan's thing was Shinto?
PhatBoy Zen Buddhism is Japanese. There are Buddhist in Japan just like there are Christians and Muslims in Japan.
Japan's main faiths is a mix of Shintoism and Buddhism.
To modern day Japanese, ANY kind of religion is more of a cultural thing instead of something you adhere or dedicate yourself to. The typical way of going about it in Japan, is to go visiting Shinto shrines during new year's day, get married in churches, & get your funeral done in Buddhist temples. Anything in between is up to personal preference.
That projection mapping is amazing, I honestly want to learn how some of those effects are done. That's incredible.
looks more like an underground cult
Holy beats... pious bars... bass hits hard with passive agression and peace yo.

Music is the devils instrument.
And Jesus is the devil's propaganda

Yup!.. Japan is 10 years ahead of the world.
