I first saw these interesting tools while in the FIU Biscayne Bay Campus. FIU has quite the interesting religious department. There is quite the number of different religious weirdoes roaming FIU. For a while, I tried all the religions to see what all the big fuzz was about. The ones who had actual religious fellows teacher were the ones from India. The tools here belong to the Buddhist monks who roam the university. They annoy the people in the food court from time to time, with one of their weird services.
They do play music during those events. However, their horns aim at playing dissonance, instead of resonance. In laymen's terms, it makes your ears bleed. That day, they were at least doing something a little more quiet. They were making a cute painting using sands. Usually, they make a fancy artwork and then they destroy it. It is their way of hammering in the fact that nothing lasts forever. Their religion is pretty depressing.
I do not know how people can find inner peace with it. I prefer Jainism. Their religion centers on reaching Enlightenment by not doing any harm. The least harm you do to living creatures, the higher up you move up in the food chain. Things seem to go well for the Jianists in India. They are only 1 percent in the country, but they contribute 30 percent of the wealth of the country. Aiming not to do harm, is a tune we can all dance to.
