| Commentaires : | The Taber Buddhist Church acquired secondary religious objects, known as butsugu, between 1947 and 1955. All these objects, including the bell, may have been purchased from Japan or donated to the Taber Buddhist Church from another Buddhist church - either a Buddhist church in western BC undergoing evacuation or the Raymond Buddhist church. In the Taber Buddhist Church minutes, there is mention of monies being needed to purchase unidentified butsugu in 1949 and 1955, and in 1952 there is a record of an incense burner being purchased from Japan./The Taber Shrine's butsugu, with the exception of the kiku-rinto and the scroll, were used continuously from 1947-2007. This period of use applies to the bell as well./Local Buddhist Minister Reverend Izumi shared symbolic and functional information about this object with Galt staff in 2008. The bell (chukin) was rested on a cushion called a zabuton which sat atop the red bell stand. The stand was located on a black-painted wooden box next to the Minister in the Naijin (stage). The chukin is a large inverted bell which is struck on the outside lip with a bell stick, often a leather-covered clapper made of lacquered wood of Chinese origin, the chukin is in the shape of the Buddha Shakyamuni's begging bowl. The deep, resonant tone of the chukin symbolizes the impermanence of all things. The chukin would have been used by the minister to ring the bell at the start, middle, and end of a sutra chant. |
