Wenshu Monastery

Chengdu Wenshu Monastery | The mighty sound of the Dharma drum, a clearing voice that shatters the worldly mind Amidst the halls and corridors of Chengdu Wenshu Monastery, one can often see a majestic and towering Dharma drum. Its body, adorned with ancient carvings and shimmering red lacquer, hangs from a wooden frame. Its silent presence yet possesses a soul-stirring power. When the Dharma drum is struck, the sound resonates like thunder, its vibrations piercing the heart. In that moment, it seems not only the reverberation of sound waves but also the mighty voice of the Dharma, shattering inner distractions and attachments, bringing a sudden clarity to the mind. In Buddhist tradition, the Dharma drum symbolizes "proclaiming the Dharma like thunder, awakening all beings." It reminds believers that life is mired in ignorance and troubles, and only the sound of wisdom can awaken the dormant soul.
