  The Diamond Sutra

  The World's Earliest dated Printed Book.This scroll was found in 1907 by the archaeologist Sir Marc Aurel Stein in a walled-up cave at the `Caves of the Thousand Buddhas', near Dunhuang, in North-West China. It was one of a small number of printed items among many thousands of manuscripts, comprising a library which must have been sealed up in about AD 1000. Although not the earliest example of blockprinting, it is the earliest which bears an actual date. The colophon, at the inner end, reads: `Reverently [caused to be] made for universal free distribution by Wang jie on behalf of his two parents on the 13th of the 4th moon of the 9th year of Xiantong [i.e. 11th May AD 868]'.

  Shin Buddhism

  Shin Buddhism was initiated by Shinran (1173-1263) in Japan. His teaching was based in the Pure Land tradition as a successor to Honen (1133-1212). Shinran developed the teaching by maintaining that faith, endowed by Amida Buddha, assured enlightentment. All religious practices, particularly the recitation of the name of the Buddha, expressed gratitude rather than achieved purification.

  The Gyuto Tantric Choir

  Their voices come from a place largely unknown to other humans, lifting three-note chords from individual throats to produce a sound that is awesome and quite literally cosmic. They are the Gyuto Monks, once of Tibet and now of Dharmsala, India. They chant to set the human race and the planet free.
