An Analysis of the Relationship Between Music and Buddhism: Therapy, Meditation, and Enlightenment

Abstract

Music can help. Music may bring people together, not just because it can help us discover spiritual realities, but also because, as this chapter argues, music is inherently uniting. Music not only draws people together, but it also pulls ideas together, and it does so because its design aspects are unified. In this way, music is a tool for discovering spiritual realities and those spiritual realities themselves; it is my awareness of myself. Furthermore, recognizing oneself leads to understanding, accepting, and respecting the humanity of those around us.

 This study answers to those proposals by hypothesizing the relationship between religion, social environment, and music today, and then tests that hypothesis against a theo-psychological interpretation of music. A conclusion summarizes my findings and highlights the importance of them. It emphasizes the relationship between music and Buddhism, highlighting how music is the basis of Buddhist teachings and rituals. Music also aids in healing, inspires individuals to produce wonderful things, and plays a significant role in achieving enlightenment.
