Hear how song and your own experience provide us with the raw material for exploring genuine reality, here and now.
Contemplation through song and follow a guided meditation to connect with what is true based on our own joy and inward experience.
HERE ARE THE LYRICS TO OUR SINGING CONTEMPLATION, "FRIENDS"--JOIN US IN BELTING IT OUT!
FRIENDS: A Song of Those who are Full of Love but Free of Attachment
Friends are empty forms, like a water moon
To think of them as being truly real
Will only make your many sufferings increase
To know they’re empty forms, like a water moon
Will make illusion-like samadhi increase
Compassion free of clinging will increase
And non-referential view will also increase
And meditation that’s fixation-free
And conduct free of doer, deed increase
Of all the many marvels, this, by far the most marvelous!
Of all the many wonders, this, the most wonderful!
Translated and arranged by Jim Scott, Marpa House, England, August 1997. Translation copyright 2012, Jim ScottFind other song lyrics and accompanying audio tracks here:
