But at the same time it would be wrong to take the view that "any music will do, so long as the idea of Buddha is in there." Much of the pop-type Buddhist music that is heard nowadays, like the setting of Buddhist chants to well-known tunes like "Suwu Muyang" and "Liang-Zhu Beige," clearly has no effect in terms of promoting salvation, and gives Buddhism a negative image.
但是，以「心中有佛，什麼音樂都可以」的態度來看待一些掛羊頭賣狗肉，或是庸俗性佛教主題音樂，如坊間現在十分時興的流行歌曲曲調、蘇武牧羊或是梁祝悲歌等現成歌謠來唱誦佛號，這根本起不了引渡的作用，反而造成一種負面印象。
