BARAKA response

1, I think that our each cultures are very important. Because, we have many different cultures and customs by each countries. Some people speak English, others speak Japanese, Chinese, French and so on. Then, some peaple believe in Buddhism, others believe in Christanity, Mohammedanism and Hinduism. For example, I'm Japanese and I speak Japanese. And, I want to speak English, so I learn it. But I'm Japanese, I'm not English. So I have a Japanese mind and I don't have to change my mind. I think that English people don't have to change theirs, too. And I think that we should share ours. It is very important for living our lives, and we have to do. So, I think that we need to treasure our caltures.

2, I think that Balinese Chant is a little strange. They sing with strange voice and action like monkeys. What is the reason that they sing? I don't know, but I think some things. Parhaps they celebrate somtings. Also, parhaps it is their daily custom. This occasion is may only men's. It is curious a little bit for Japanese view. But I think it is important for them. Because this action expresses their symbol. Parhaps, it is Japanese sing the Sutra. So, I think that Balinese Chant is important hor them.
