| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 民族音樂學研究所 === 101 === What human ears can hear is called voice. It is anything that makes a sound and can be heard by the ears; it is also one of “Six Sense Objects”. Original Buddhist voice is closely related to languages, its main feature is to preach doctrines. It is descriptively based on the sound humans make; therefore, it is also called “voice”. “Voice Language” has rhythm and melody; it is a type of language demonstrated in singing. Voice is an essential media used in religious ceremonies, and it is also an important element in Buddhist culture. In this thesis, we will explore the traditional voice culture system of Han Buddhist temples in Taiwan, and gather data on how religious groups implement and practice it, and also study the relationship between the religious groups. We will base this on traditional voice to relate with the Buddhist chanting after the wars in Taiwan and the Buddhist music outside of temples, and how sound culture has since been changed, and the reasons for those changes.
The first Chapter –Introduction includes the purpose, the scope, theory and method of the study. Chapter II talks about the recordings of voice from Buddhist documentaries. It discusses how original Buddhism prohibited music in society. During the Mahayana period, sound had its beginnings in the form of preaching, and took on an important role. Chapter III focuses on the traditional Buddhist chanting voice structure, how it is presented, its features and its functions. Chapter IV outlines the development of Buddhist chanting and Buddhist music in Taiwan. It explains how Buddhist chanting exists in the temple ceremony and how it is presented with diversity in different areas. Chapter V compares the difference between traditional Buddhist chanting and the newly developed Buddhist music and its concepts and implementations. Lastly, Taiwanese-Han Buddhism must be understood as well
as the perspectives toward this phenomenon, and conclude the reasons for the changes in voice concepts. Chapter VI concludes and summarizes all chapters.
