World's First Monk Who Plays DJ In His Temple.

Are you fond of DJ or music? No doubt music is something that can heal your emotional wounds and can get you a new life. So in some cultures music is considered a spiritual thing or even in some culture music is considered equivalent to god. Or you are a peace lover who just loves peace and spirituality. But did you ever tried to mingle Dj and a priest? Well, maybe it sounds so weird but surprisingly it's true. There is a monk who plays DJ in his temple in Japan.

A monk who used to be a Dj in his past got so fascinated with his work that he couldn't give up on his love for electronic music. Asakura Gyosen is a priest in Shoonji temple in Fukui city, Japan. He transforms the whole temple into a Dj & lighthouse two times a year. Although he gets both positive and negative reaction from the public. A lot of people are there to support him and says that this new service makes them feel more close to the Buddhism ''pure land''.

He says that at the same time people also criticized him and said that Buddhist service should be more quiet and serious. Asakura Gyosen says that his aim is to attract young people to Buddhism. The Dj monk is all over the internet but suspiciously the this Dj house had 400+ attendants so far.

Asakura Gyosen's family is serving this temple for a long time and he is the 17th chief of the temple. He says that In an era lacking faith, I am hoping that with the effort and ideas from us priest we can make this world a better and happy place.

Well, actually way no one knows the real right or wrong. So if someone is making people's lives better by changing some rituals and practices, we think it should be acceptable even if it's a Monk who plays DJ in his temple.
