Meditation Guitar

I only have the words of the mantra; the music I create myself. recording harmonium is really tricky, but fun.

My tribute to the late Lou Reed. And the end of a very long relationship.

Broken Heart Sutra

Take the Buddhists Bowling

Everyday I get up and pray to Buddha.
And he increases the number of clocks by exactly one.
Everybody's coming home for lunch these days.
Last night there were Buddhists sitting on my lawn.

(chorus)

Take the Buddhists bowling, take them bowling.
Take the Buddhists bowling, take them bowling.

Some people say that bowling alleys got big lanes.
(Got big lanes.  Got big lanes.)
Some people say that bowling alleys all look the same.
(Look the same.  Look the same.)
Take the Buddhists bowling and they’ll just complain.
(Just complain.  Complain.)
That all they do is throw a bunch of gutter balls. 
(Gutter balls. Gutter balls.)

(chorus)

I had a dream last night about you, my friend.
I had a dream, I wanted to sleep next to plastic.
I had a dream, I wanted to lick your knees.
I had a dream, it was about nothing.

(chorus)

PRAISE TO PRAJNAPARAMITA
orig. lyrics by Khenpo Rinpoche

Inexpressible, inconceivable Prajnaparamita 
Unarisen, never ceasing space, the very essence of bliss
The domain of ever-present wisdom knowing itself completely
To the mother of the victorious ones in all three times I bow

Mother of all wisdom
Prajnaparamita (3X)
(4th) Mother of all wisdom
In all three times I bow

'doha' is sanskrit and refers to 'dharma song' or 'song of realization'
