唄匿 [bei ni]—Baini — [Ritual] Also called bai (唄 [bei]) on a single day. Also called bazhi (婆陟 [po zhi]) or bashi (婆師 [po shi]). It is the chanting of Sanskrit sounds (梵音 [fan yin]). Drawing out the voice to chant gathas and hymns is for praising the merits and virtues of the Triple Gem (三寶 [san bao]), hence it is called baizan (唄讚 [bei zan]). When the Buddha was alive, there were those most skilled in the way of chanting, known as Bai Bhikkhu (唄比丘 [bei bi qiu]) or Lingsheng Bhikkhu (鈴聲比丘 [ling sheng bi qiu]). When Buddhism came to the Han territory (漢土 [han tu]), people did not know the melodies of chanting. Wei Chen Si Wang Cao Zhi (魏陳思王曹植 [wei chen si wang cao zhi]), while traveling in Yushan (魚山 [yu shan]), heard the sound of water in the rock valleys and felt inspired, thus he composed melodies. See the entry for Yushan (漁山 [yu shan]). Wen Ju Ji (文句記 [wen ju ji]) Volume 4 states: "The sutras say that bai is sometimes called baini, meaning praise and chanting." Xing Shi Chao (行事鈔 [xing shi chao]) Volume 4 states: "The Chu Yao Lü Yi (出要律儀 [chu yao lu yi]) says: 'Thus, the country of Yupi (鬱鞞國 [yu bing guo]) is translated as 'stopping and cutting off,' and also 'stopping and resting.' Because external conditions have ceased and been cut off, at that time, stillness is suitable for performing Buddhist rituals.'" Fa Hua Xuan Zan (法華玄贊 [fa hua xuan zan]) Volume 4 states: "In Sanskrit it is bazhi, here translated as praise. Baini is a corrupted form." Xuan Ying Yin Yi (玄應音義 [xuan ying yin yi]) Volume 14 states: "The Sanskrit word is bashi, here translated as praise. The term baini is suspected to be a corruption." Gao Seng Zhuan (高僧傳 [gao seng chuan]) Volume 13 states: "In the customs of India, any chanting of Dharma words is called bai. When it came to this land, chanting sutras was called zhuandu (轉讀 [zhuan du]), and singing praises was called fanbai (梵唄 [fan bei]). In ancient times, the devas' chanting was all set to rhythm with string and wind instruments. Since the five groups (五眾 [wu zhong]) were different from worldly customs, it was appropriate to use vocal melodies as excellent." Sa Po Duo Pi Ni Le Jia (薩婆多毘尼勒迦 [sa po duo pi ni lei jia]) Volume 6 states: "King Bimbisara (瓶沙王 [ping sha wang]) believed in Buddhism and went to the Buddha's abode, saying to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! All external practitioners on the 8th, 14th, and 15th days gather in one place to chant and recite, gaining much alms and increasing their followers. I request the World-Honored One to permit the bhikkhus... (omitted) The Buddha said: 'I permit the bhikkhus to gather in one place on the 8th, 14th, and 15th days to chant and expound the Dharma.'" Sanskrit: Pāṭhaka. (Yushan)
唄匿—【儀式】單曰唄。又曰婆陟，婆師。梵音之歌詠也。引聲詠偈頌，是為讚嘆三寶之功德，故曰唄讚。佛在世有最巧於唄道者，稱為唄比丘或鈴聲比丘。佛教來漢土，人未知唄道之音調，魏陳思王曹植，遊魚山，聞巖谷之水聲，自感得之，遂制曲譜云。見漁山條。文句記四曰：「經云唄者，或云唄匿，云讚頌。」行事鈔上四曰：「出要律儀云：如是鬱鞞國翻為止斷也，又云止息，由是外緣巳止巳斷。爾時寂靜任為佛事也。」法華玄贊四曰：「梵云婆陟，此言讚嘆。唄匿，訛也。」玄應音義十四曰：「梵言婆師，此言讚嘆，言唄匿者，疑訛也。」高僧傳十三曰：「天竺方俗，凡是歌詠法言稱唄，至於此土，詠經則稱為轉讀，歌讚則號為梵唄。昔諸天讚唄，皆以韻入絃管，五眾既與俗違，故宜以聲曲為妙。」薩婆多毘尼勒迦六曰：「瓶沙王信佛法，往詣佛所白佛言：世尊！諸外道八日十四日十五日，集一處唄誦，多得利養，眷屬增長，願世尊聽諸比丘。（中略）佛言：聽諸比丘八日十四日十五日集一處唄誦說法。」梵 Pāṭhaka。(漁山)

Chinese Buddhism (漢傳佛教, hanchuan fojiao) is the form of Buddhism that developed in China, blending Mahayana teachings with Daoist and Confucian thought. Its texts are mainly in Classical Chinese, based on translations from Sanskrit. Major schools include Chan (Zen), Pure Land, Tiantai, and Huayan. Chinese Buddhism has greatly influenced East Asian religion and culture.
