HERUKA Experiment

In the mosaic of life, suffering is a thread that weaves through every experience, yet it is in the gentle embrace of each present moment that we find the key to our freedom and happiness. Through the lens of mindful awareness, we can transcend the shadows of our cravings and illusions, unveiling a profound inner peace that flows like a serene river. Blood is our life force, and by nourishing it with awareness and compassion, we cultivate the strength to overcome any obstacle. Embrace each breath, each heartbeat, and discover the boundless freedom that lies within, where true tranquility and enlightenment are not distant dreams but the ever-present reality of your awakened being. 

„Blood of Suffering.
Protector of the unarmed.
Mahakala.
Protector of the unknown.

Blood of Suffering

Every living being has a point within them that shines, no matter how deeply it may be buried under trauma and emotions. We all carry this enlightened potential within us. Buddha is in every cell of ours – and he is smiling.

„Buddhas under my skin.

Their silent whispers echo through my bones.

Floating on the edge of consciousness.

Fragments of dreams collide in the void.

Buddhas under my skin.

Under my skin.

Time dissolves into a swirling abyss.

A cosmic journey through fractal realms.

Lost in the labyrinth of my own mind.

Buddhas under my skin.

Awakening.“

Buddhas under my Skin

There is always a living being that might need a Hung - sometimes with love, sometimes with wrath. Our new song, Muni Muni, brings you the energy to break free from wild thoughts and guides you, after a moment of despair, to the peace of a quiet mind.  

"Seated high on a lion's throne,
 Touching earth, where light is shown,
 Lotus, sun, and moon align,
 In his hands, the sacred sign.

Blessed one, you’ve come to stay, 
From the void, you lead the way, 
Arhat, perfect, wise and strong, 
In your truth, we all belong.

Teacher of gods and humankind, 
Shakyamuni, pure, divine,
 I bow to you, with heart and soul,
 In your refuge, I find my goal.

Muni Muni Maha Muni 
Muni Muni Shakyamuni

Sugata, the world you see, 
Breaking chains to set us free, 
Tamer of the hearts and mind, 
No one greater, none to find.

TEYATHA OM MUNI MUNI MAHA MUNIYE SOHA"

Muni Muni

(english translation below)
Jenseits von Schmerz und Verstrickung liegt der Raum reinen Gewahrseins. Doch wir klammern uns an Illusionen, aus Angst vor dem Unbekannten. Schmerz und Dunkelheit halten uns gefangen, doch der Weg zur Befreiung liegt bereits in uns. Die Lehren des Buddha erinnern uns daran, dass alles Vergängliche kein wahres Selbst besitzt – auch unser Leid.  

Wenn wir die Flammen nicht als Feind betrachten, sondern als Teil der Reinigung, beginnt Transformation. Die Lehren des Dharma rufen uns dazu auf, die Fesseln zu durchtrennen – nicht mit Kampf, sondern mit Erkenntnis. Jedes Mantra öffnet ein Tor, jede Silbe trägt das Potenzial zur Befreiung.  

Mögen wir den Mut finden, die Ketten abzustreifen und uns dem grenzenlosen Licht des Erwachens hinzugeben. Wenn wir bereit sind, unser Leiden zu durchdringen, wird Feuer zu Licht, und Ketten zerfallen zu Staub. Der Weg ist weit, doch in jedem Schritt liegt bereits das Ziel. Svāhā!

„Namo āryāvalokiteśvarāya.
Namo ratnatrayāya.

Du fühlst den Schmerz, du riechst das Licht,  
Doch sehen kannst du es noch nicht.  
Die Flammen fressen dein Gesicht,  
Ich öffne dir die Tür zur Sicht.  

Zerbrochener Wunsch sitzt unter der Haut,  
Geboren aus Asche, im Feuer getraut.  
Du schreist nach Rettung, du schreist nach Licht,  
Doch retten das kannst „du“ dich nicht.
 
Sarvaduḥkha-praśamane.  
Sarvaduḥkha-praśamane.  
Sarvaduḥkha-praśamane.  
 
Svāhā…

Oṁ dharmadhātu garbhe – brenne, brenne!
Avalokite karuṇe – spüre die Ketten!  
Mahāmaitrī – die Wunden blühen!  
Mahākrodhe – du wirst verglühen!  

Tadyathā… der Weg ist weit!  
Tadyathā… befreie Zeit!  
Tadyathā… die Ketten brechen!  
Tadyathā… das Licht wird sprechen!  

Svāhā!“

Chains of Pain - English translation:

Beyond pain and entanglement lies the space of pure awareness. Yet we cling to illusions, afraid of the unknown. Pain and darkness keep us trapped, but the path to liberation is already within us. The teachings of the Buddha remind us that all that is impermanent has no true self – not even our suffering.  

If we do not see the flames as an enemy but as part of purification, transformation begins. The teachings of the Dharma call us to break these chains – not through struggle, but through insight. Every mantra opens a gate, every syllable holds the potential for liberation.  

May we find the courage to cast off these chains and surrender to the boundless light of awakening. If we are ready to face our suffering, fire will turn into light, and chains will crumble into dust. The path is long, yet in every step, the goal is already present. Svāhā!

„Namo āryāvalokiteśvarāya.  
Namo ratnatrayāya.  

You feel the pain, you smell the light,  
But you cannot see it yet.  
The flames devour your face,  
I open the door to your sight.  

A broken wish sits beneath the skin,  
Born from ashes, wedded in fire.  
You scream for salvation, you scream for light,  
But you cannot save „yourself“.  

Sarvaduḥkha-praśamane.  
Sarvaduḥkha-praśamane.  
Sarvaduḥkha-praśamane.  

Svāhā…  

Oṁ dharmadhātu garbhe – burn, burn!  
Avalokite karuṇe – feel the chains!  
Mahāmaitrī – the wounds are blooming!  
Mahākrodhe – you will be consumed!  

Tadyathā… the path is long!  
Tadyathā… liberate time!  
Tadyathā… the chains are breaking!  
Tadyathā… the light will speak!  

Svāhā!"

Schmerzketten – Extended Instrumental

🔥Truth is not a weapon, but a mirror.  To keep the vow is to stand unmasked before the flame, where illusion burns and silence reveals what is real.  Every breath can be a vow – to harm no one, not even oneself 🕉️

Vow of Truth
"Right now I keep my vow
 Illusion fades before the flame Truth remains, 
unbroken through time 
No more chains, no more fear 

Every breath – dissolve the veil 
Shadows break – the mind unveiled 
Beyond the void – the silence speaks 
Truth remains – the vow we keep
 Awakening – the fire calls 
Dust to dust – the wheel turns on 
Speech cuts deep – or heals the soul 
Truth is here – the vow stands tall

Perfect lies you tell yourself
Human nature breaks in silence
Every breath dissolves the veil
 Shadows break, the mind opens
 Beyond the void a question burns 
Sacred silence stands unshaken

Right now I keep my vow
 Illusion fades before the flame 
Truth remains, unbroken through time
 No more chains, no more fear"
