Lamaist Music - Lamaist Music

Japanese: ラマ教音楽 - ラマきょうおんがく
Lamaist Music - Lamaist Music
Music in Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism, or Lamaism, is based on music for religious ceremonies, and in a broader sense can also include music accompanying various masked dances performed after ceremonies. Ritual music is performed by lamas reciting sutras and hymns in unison with monophonic chanting and instrumental accompaniment. There is no significant difference between the ritual music of the Nyingma sect, founded by Padmasambhava, or the ancient sects such as the Kadam sect, Sakya sect, and Kagyu sect, and the Gelug sect since Tsongkhapa. There are only minor regional changes in Lamaism in the Tibetan Plateau, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, and other areas, but there are some changes in the ritual music in various parts of Ladakh in northern India.

Japanese:
チベット大乗仏教すなわちラマ教における音楽は,宗教儀礼の音楽が基本であり,広義には儀礼後などに行われる各種の仮面舞踊などに付随する伴奏音楽も含む場合がある。儀礼音楽は,ラマ僧による読経と賛歌がユニゾンでの単旋律の朗唱と器楽伴奏によって奏される。パドマサンババを開祖とするニンマ派,あるいはカダム派,サキャ派,カギュ派など古派の儀礼音楽と,ツォンカパ以来のゲルク派の儀礼音楽とは大きな変化はない。ラマ教の分布するチベット高原,ブータン,シッキム,ネパールなどの地域的変化はわずかだが,インド北部のラダック各地の儀礼音楽は若干の変化がみられる。
