What are the taboos in writing Buddhist songs?

In Buddhist culture, although there is no explicit prohibition on writing Buddhist songs, there are some common principles and precautions for reference. These principles and precautions are aimed at respecting the teachings and traditions of Buddhism and maintaining the purity and solemnity of Buddhist songs. Here are some possible taboos:

1. Don't confuse secular music with Buddhist music. Buddhist music should be pure, pious and religious, and should not involve secular style and content.

2. Try to avoid using words other than Buddhist scriptures. Buddhist songs usually use Buddhist scriptures, hymns or teachers' teachings as lyrics, so we should respect and protect the authority of these scriptures and teachings and avoid other secular or personal subjective words.

Don't exaggerate or distort Buddhist teachings. Buddhist songs should truly convey Buddhist thoughts and wisdom, and not be used for other purposes, such as commercial propaganda or personal interests.

4. Respect traditions and rituals. In order to show the uniqueness and solemnity of Buddhist culture, traditional musical forms and rituals should be observed as much as possible in Buddhist songs.

It should be noted that the above taboos are mainly inferred from Buddhist values and traditions, and the specific taboos may vary with time, region and Sect. If you have specific needs, it is recommended to refer to relevant Buddhist documents or consult Buddhist objects and practitioners.
