Lyrics:

From the sky through the earth there are none who surpass the Buddha
In the worlds of the ten directions there are none who can compare 
Among all that I have seen in this world
There are none who surpass the Buddha

Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
From the sky through the earth there are none who surpass the Buddha

From the sky through the earth there are none who surpass the Buddha
In the worlds of the ten directions there are none who can compare 
Among all that I have seen in this world
There are none who surpass the Buddha

Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
Oṃ Muni Muni Mahāmuni Śakyamuni Svāhā 

Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
Namo Śakyamuni Buddha Guruve 
Oṃ Muni Muni Mahāmuni Śakyamuni Svāhā

Triple Gem, August 2014, Auckland, NZ

The triple gem refers to the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha: the three pillars of the buddhist path. When we take refuge in the three jewels we let go of our old values and step outside our comfort zone to begin to deconstruct the paradox of how we exist as a mass of tangled emotions, while at the same time we are the Buddha. Ultimately there is only one jewel, which we will eventually have to discard, just as we abandon the boat we have taken once we reach the other shore. Letting go of the path will be the hardest and most interesting part of our journey.

Wisdom and Compassion, 13 June 2015 - Vancouver, Canada

Wisdom and compassion or “method” are fundamental components of the Buddha Dharma. A sound, sober path will include both and balancing these two is always the biggest challenge. Without method, the path becomes abstract and theoretical. But methods, such as discipline, morality and ethics, without wisdom lead to righteousness and puritanical attitudes. The driving force to make us seek something spiritual is our fundamental wish not to suffer. Yet it is difficult to identify suffering and hard to accept that so-called happiness, success and good times will all result in suffering. One of the best ways to analyse suffering and the causes of suffering is to explore the techniques of wisdom and compassion. We need both: that is what the Buddha taught.

Heart Sutra Teachings & Meditation, 1 February 2015 - Hong Kong, China

The Heart Sutra or Prajñāpāramitā is the quintessence of the Mahayana teachings. This sutra can protect us from all the problems caused by our deluded conceptions of this mundane world. Our projections lead to action and action to reaction, to create an ordered system: samsara. “Form is emptiness, emptiness is form” gives us the tools to destabilise samsara and find liberation, but we can only experience this emptiness directly through practice. Meditation is a method for us to access the wisdom of emptiness but eventually must itself be deconstructed, just as a boat is abandoned once we reach the other shore.
