Abstract

Abstract:In 2010, the publication of "Heart Sutra Pop," an online animated video featuring the cyber-idol Hatsune Miku singing the Heart Sutra, launched a viral enthusiasm for the text that is unmatched throughout its more than twelve-hundred-year history in Japan. This article explores the digital rebirth of the sutra and the rise of an unlikely virtual spiritual leader. I argue that this cyber-idol-driven sutra boom is both doctrinally justifiable and consistent with a wave of new media initiatives by Japanese Buddhists.

“心经流行”:一个性感的声音Android的宗教文本民主化
摘要:2010年,网络偶像三谷演唱《心经》的网络动画视频《心经流行》的发布,在日本1200多年的历史中,引发了对该文本无与伦比的狂热。这篇文章探讨了佛经的数字重生和一个不太可能的虚拟精神领袖的崛起。我认为,这种由网络偶像驱动的取经热潮在理论上是合理的,也与日本佛教徒的新媒体浪潮相一致。
