Drumming and chanting in one of the buildings of the Zenkō-ji Temple

As I was walking through the Temple complex, away from the amazing bell, I heard this drumming and chanting emanating from a building that sits to the left of the main building. I stood a ways outside so as not to disturb the proceedings and listened from outside. The sounds from within the Temple meld and combine with the sounds of the outdoors... passersby walking past and snow melting off the rooftops of the buildings.
