Buddhist music

Buddhist music is prominent in many cultures:

• Throat singing
• Music of Japan: Shomyo, Taiko
• Music of China

Composer Philip Glass is a practicing Buddhist but claims it does not influence his music directly: "The real impact of Buddhist practice affects how you live your life on a daily basis, not how you do your art." (Kostelanetz, 1992)
