A Musical Journey

Prior to his musical career, a young Yakushiji initially took up the guitar as a form of rebellion against the monastery’s predetermined path for him to become an abbot. However, he eventually came to terms with life’s challenges and found inner peace.

Later on, he discovered that music and his monastic duties shared a common purpose in offering hope and serenity to people. Yakushiji began delivering Zen music in a contemporary style, releasing six albums and over 15 singles.

One of his most renowned works is his rendition of the Heart Sutra, which has garnered over 50 million views, along with other notable releases like Hands and Breath.

Despite gaining popularity online, in the media, and at live performances, Yakushiji maintains a humble lifestyle and remains dedicated to his faith, family, and music. These aspects of his life coexist harmoniously, enriching his spiritual journey.

The live performance of Yakushiji is sure to be an eye-opening experience for all who have the opportunity to attend. In addition to his music, he also shares valuable insights on life, happiness, and aspirations with the audience.

Following his performance in Kuala Lumpur, Yakushiji will continue his global musical journey with stops in Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, and Macao.
