Title
Nishihonganji Temple
Description
This temple is one of the Buddhist temples that believes that the hgihest form of reincarnation that will help you reach Nirvana is a man, and so every soul in Nirvana would be represented as a man. This is very interesting, because this denomiation of budhism is still sommonly practiced in Japan, and it is one of the only denominations that believes that you can only reach Nirvana by being a man first. The temple is open access, so anyone can come in and particpate in their congregation.

Transcription
The recorder is walking, so you can hear as the gravel pavement gets moved as they walk. There are a few voices that talk very loudly and expressively in the distance, and you can hear the sound of two metal sticks being hit together at a steady pace. The wooden sticks are being used as a measument tool as people are chanting altogether in the distance.
