For many years, the only formal written instruction to assist readers with the correct pronunciation of the chanted prayers in Gongyo, is the short guide that can be found in traditional Gongyo books. The current book is titled "The Liturgy of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism". Other guides, such as cassette tapes, records, CDrom recordings, and MP3 files are available from a variety of sources. Free MP3 sound files are available and can be downloaded from the SGI-USA website.
EasyGongyo , offered to you on this website, is a modified version of the traditional liturgy that will help you learn how to pronounce the words and understand the rhythm of how they are to be chanted.
EasyGongyo has phonetic spelling aids (printed above the traditional text ), which are to help understand the pronunciations of the sounds. Traditional text has been divided into pulses to help understand the timing and rhythm of how the words are to be chanted.
EasyGongyo has made the experience of learning Gongyo, a more relaxed, enjoyable, and encouraging practice. It is meant to ease and embellish the traditional and typical method of one-on-one basic instruction that is customarily shared by SGI members to persons new to this practice.
The pronunciation guides offered by the author are derived from a composition of observation, study, and the practice of the recitation of Gongyo spanning more than thirty years of personal practice. . EasyGongyo was authored solely by Mauro Daniele.
