Material A2-1, A2-2, A2-3, A1, A3-3, S1, S2 and S3 : The Reverend Shonen Sobue
I have selected several scenes as to the preacher of the Shin Buddhism in Japan, the Reverend Shonen Sobue, from an original two hours video Hi8 tape on which I recorded his edification and Fushidansekkyo delivered in the main hall of Yurin Temple (Yurinji), Nagoya, Japan in 1992, and I have made QuickTime Movie (.mov) files, RealPlayer Media (.rm) files and audio (.aif, .mp3) files.
Please note that what I have recorded (the Reverend Shonen Sobue's preaching and saying) as the materials for my graduation thesis and my master's thesis and my study are the Reverend Shonen Sobue's Intellectual Property.
I present what I, an untrained amateur videotape-recording person, recorded on video Hi8 tape in 1992 as material for my study. I have not filtered out background noise, nor have I reduced noise. I have not adjusted audio quality. If you would like to fully appreciate the Reverend Shonen Sobue's Fushidansekkyo, I encourage you to search for commercially available cassette tapes and video tapes produced by audio experts and professional videographers.
- A2-1: About Tune [Cadence] (.mov, .rm, .aif, .mp3)
- A2-2: About his first preaching at the age of 8 (.mov, .rm, .aif, .mp3)
- A2-3: "Nothing is left if Amida Buddha is taken away from me." (.mov, .rm, .aif, .mp3)
- A1: About the frame of mind when he decided to be a "preacher" that shepherds the people (.mov, .rm, .aif, .mp3)
- A3-3: About the "beautiful voice," the narrative power and the tune (.mov, .rm, .aif, .mp3)
- S1: Fushidansekkyo from "Shinran Shonin den": Resting his head on a stone in the snow (.mov, .rm, .aif, .mp3)

- S3: Fushidansekkyo from "Shinran Shonin den": Mountain priest Bennen O my heart was changed forever (.mov, .rm, .aif, .mp3)

- U: An example of Uke Nembutsu (.aif, .mp3)
You will have access to these additional audio material files by clicking on the Links, "Additional audio material U AIFF" and "Additional audio material U MP3."
I have selected several scenes as to the pastor of the Baptist Church in Philadelphia, USA, the Pastor Barbara Ward Farmer, from original cassette tapes on which I recorded her seminar "The History of Gospel Music" and Mission Work taken place in the Gospel Music Workshop "1996 PACAF WIDE GOSPEL MUSIC WORKSHOP 3 - 8 JUNE 1996 Yokota Air Force Base, Japan, Theme: 'One Voice United In Praise!' Facilitators: Evangelist Barbara Ward-Farmer and Byron Ward," and I have made AIFF (.aif) and MP3 (.mp3) audio files.
For the good reason that "the religious life is purely private," I could not get permission to use a video camera, which would capture the images of the participants, from the US Air Force side's representative of this Gospel Music Workshop. Hence, there is only audio material recorded on cassette tapes by me, an untrained amateur recording person, in 1996 as material for my study. I have not filtered out background noise, nor have I reduced noise. I have not adjusted audio quality. If you would like to fully appreciate the Pastor Barbara Ward Farmer's Gospel, I encourage you to search for commercially available CDs produced by audio experts and professional recording people.
Please open the Holy Bible, while listening to the audio material G4 files from a part of the seminar "The History of Gospel Music" by the renowned Pastor Barbara Ward Farmer.
- G4-1: The first time that music was mentioned in the Bible: Genesis Chapter 31, Verses 26 and 27 (.aif, .mp3)
- G4-2: In a religious context: Exodus Chapter 15, Verses 1 and 2 (.aif, .mp3)
- G4-3: Singing was the act of communicating with God - Psalms (.aif, .mp3)
- G1-1: The Black experience (.aif, .mp3)
- G1-2: This [Music] belongs to the Lord (.aif, .mp3)
- G1-3: The Father of Gospel Music (.aif, .mp3)

As you have noticed, on www.hdever.com, there are many material files which highlight the sound and melodious quality in the sermon, such as the "tune" of Fushidansekkyo and the "key" of Gospel Mission Work. Yet I am not merely saying that preaching with tune is good and that preaching with music is good. What I am trying to do is to bring the significance of hearing a sermon in one's heart, not in one's head, that is, "feeling" the teachings and the words or "experiencing" the teachings and the words, into question.

News in English [English]My personal remarks on what I from time to time think or feel about a certain subject. The subject is not always associated with Fushidansekkyo, but it is a relevant subject to a topic on a page of www.hdever.com. Please note that the events (religious services, university extension lectures, symposiums, performances and so forth) to be mentioned on this page shall be domestic eventswith few exceptions, and the information on them might not be useful to those who are not in Japan.

A very small Library [English]In this Library, there are a few wonderful books and extracts from some marvelous papers that I have revered. Although www.hdever.com's theme is "Centering upon Fushidansekkyo, before it is utterly gone," they are not references for the study of Fushidansekkyo in the least.
The page that the link represents includes a file in PDF format.

A Break Room with Jazz Music [English]A melodious voice of a Fushidansekkyo preacher and a dulcet voice of a Jazz singer, the perception of a "beautiful voice" is diverse. Well, is the "voice" in Fushidansekkyo of Japanese Buddhism actually heard as a "beautiful voice," for example, by Western ears?
This Break Room with Jazz Music has the daughter-page that includes Ms. Nancy King's "Left Alone" and the table that contains four "Fly Me To The Moon" songs, three "Summertime" songs, one "Skylark" song, one "Satin Doll" song, two "What A Wonderful World" songs and one "Left Alone" song by various Jazz vocalists.
A Break Room with Photos and Haiku poems [English]In the compelling part of Fushidansekkyo the characteristics of the Japanese language is made the most of on the underlying rhythm in seven-and-five syllable meter. Haiku in Japanese is also in seven-and-five syllable meter. Now, in what rhythm do the characteristics of your mother tongue shine the most?
Haiku poems by Charlie Smith, in English and in Japanese given in romanized characters.
A Haiku by Horst Ludwig, in German, with Japanese translations.
Photos and the writing of AGikuyu by Richard Kett from Germany, in German, with an English translation.
