Hip Hop Monks and Chanting Bars

Now that is something that you don't see everyday in a temple!

Here's a food for thought: i seen some quite unusually negative reaction to this piece of news, mainly because they 'believed' that it is helping Buddhism grow in popularity in a bad way, and it is not 'right' to spread it by modern ways. I personally think that it is actually a great way! Think about this, this method is actually very similar to gospel in churches, and Western media actually embraces it and let it grow in popularity. Buddhism itself is a great religion but i it is out of touch with the people nowadays. People can't understand what's the meaning of the mantra, let alone feeling the faith of it. Besides, it is just damn cool to see a monk serving up a Pina Colada in front of you ;)
