		Somehow there is nothing you need to do but let each syllabus unfolds like a note of melody, the only difference being a note is variable in time-duration but a syllabus is monotonous.
		That may be the reason why a mokugyo (a fish-shaped wooden drum) is used in Japanese/Korean monastery.
		As each syllabus in the sutra is repeated, the mokugyo is beaten once; as the mokugyo is beaten once again another syllabus is repeated.

	Blogger: Email Post to a Friend
		Reb said that when you first start out at Zen Center they give you the mokugyo to play, the special drum that keeps the beat when we are chanting.
		After you learn to play the mokugyo while "being upright", that is balancing in the center of caring just the right amount, then you get more responsibilities, for example being doan which involves a complex number of bells and careful timings during service.
		Playing the mokugyo, it is relatively easy for me to relax, but maintain focus and do it well.

	The Way of Eiheiji booklet - text
		The song of the cuckoo and the cicada soon merge into the waves of chanting and the deep voice of the mokugyo (a large polished wooden drum which is struck with a padded stick) sending waves of deep soft sound down the mountainside.
		This Dharani is chanted with mokugyo at a rather fast tempo, and the surge of vitality from the figures, seated cross legged and immobile on the tatami (straw) matted floor is very compelling.
		Also, when there is no keisu or mokugyo to regulate the tempo, the waves of sound roll and break over each other at rather irregular intervals.

		A fish usually seen in Japanese temples is the mokugyo ('wooden fish'), fashioned in a roundish shape from a solid block of wood.
		It is carved with fish-scales and often with a lion/dragon head.
		The mokugyo is hollowed out, so that when the priest strikes this with a leather-padded drumstick, the sound has a strange hypnotic effect on the hearer.

	Kai Han - Winter 2001 - Four Great Vows
		I found that, in almost every reference to the Four Vows, the words "resolve" or "resolute" were utilized, bringing the sense of determination and purpose and perseverance to the forefront.
		This brought to mind my first instruction for striking the mokugyo - the tone for the Four Great Vows would be one of solemn resolve, slow and even and strong.
		I take note that, in more recent times, the pace has picked up somewhat, but the tone still remains strong and resolute.

	Reverend Greg: Comment on *Child's eyes, Child's mind*
		From this experience I can understand what your priest acquaintence is talking about.
		I feel that people like to chant rapidly because its easier for them to keep in rhythym together, if you aren't using a mokusho or mokugyo (wood drums) or something else for that purpose.
		Another thing that I have found enjoyable is the rhythym pattern used in Shodaigyo.
