Science says that drumming is beneficial, sort of similar to mindfulness, meditation, anybody know anything on drumming?
For example i know that buddha wasn't a supporter of breath working, he adviced to simply watch breath and meditate, though i used to do this breath work it would make me feel no body, get relaxed, see visions, get pleasant spiritual experiences. Anybody have thoughts on this too perhaps?

Re: Buddhism and drumming
Once I heard a buddhist monk say in a documentary that he thinks Reggae and buddhist meditation have something in common.
But sorry, I don't remember any name or title.

Re: Buddhism and drumming
Anybody have any experiences with drumming to get into shamanic journeying, trance, things like that?
(its not about music but about a means of spiritual work)

Yes, for example the chod practice is being performed with big handdrums.Jokingfish wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 2:39 pm Anybody have any experiences with drumming to get into shamanic journeying, trance, things like that?

But all of this is nothing for doing alone without a teacher, initiation and experience.

Re: Buddhism and drumming
One of my buddhist friends and ecologist uses shamanic drumming techniques to help his students get in touch with nature. He has some interesting experiences with it. Like giving students pieces of trees and the student being able to describe the precise shape of the tree it is from and surrounding area. Quite interesting.Jokingfish wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 2:39 pm Anybody have any experiences with drumming to get into shamanic journeying, trance, things like that?

Not related this thread reminded me of old mr Starr.
“Observing samaya involves to remain inseparable from the union of wisdom and compassion at all times, to sustain mindfulness, and to put into practice the guru’s instructions”. Garchen Rinpoche

goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.

Re: Buddhism and drumming
Drumming, rhythmic movement, sounds, bilateral stimulation all can help to quiet the conceptual mind, which can be useful.
