Hey im doing an religion assignment on buddhism and really, desperately need primary sources (ie actually buddhists views) so it would be a super dooooper help if you could attempt at answering these questions? you don't have to answer all even one or two would be really helpful or simple mantra or mudra facts.
1.How are Mantras used in cooperation with meditation? Techniques used?
2.How does the use of Mantras enhance the meditation experience? Does it at all?
3.How does this ancient ritual remain significant and relevant in modern times and to secular mindset?
4.Has Mantras been adapted or changed at all to make meditation suitable for modern lifestyle?
5.Are Mudras still used in modern mediation and if so, are they used as frequently compared to ancient times?
6.What is the point of using hand gestures during Meditation?
7.Has the use of Mudras changed overtime? I.e. Are the Mudras becoming simpler so that more people can use them?
8. Traditionally, did only the Monks use Mudras, or was it free to use for all Buddhists while meditating?
there are a lot of questions, so take your pick at which to answer
all feedback will be helpful so thankyou
