I found this article on CNN.com

You get the full affect of what these Buddhists are doing from the video.
They call it Buddhism 2010. A Buddhist monk, Kansho Tagai, believes that religion needs to change for the future. They achieve this through rap, though it's the same chants. He even has a street name, Mr. Happiness.
Another idea is to make religion more fun. Zenshin Fujioka has set up what he calls a Monk Bar. Apparently other Monks are even asking for advice.
