When things change inside you, things change around you. The best way to experience the heart sutra is by finding a cozy corner in your house and closing your eyes while you listen to it. Amidst the chaos in the world, I pray that we as a community are able to find those moments of peace, let go off all that we tightly grasp and hold on to and find the strength to power through tough times. Much love 💗💐🙏

HEART SUTRA BY MAYA.mp3

Just a random exploration... I hope you enjoy this track as much as I enjoyed travelling where the music naturally took me. Having trained in Carnatic classical music, I enjoy this kind of relaxed singing that is very close to the soul, that has no boundaries or rules, that is authentic.

OM YE DHARMA HETU-PRABHAVA HETUM TESHAM TATHAGATO HYAVADAT TESHAM CHA YO NIRODHA EVAM VADI MAHASHRAMANAH SVAHA

All dharmas originate from causes.
The Tathagata has taught these causes,
And also that which puts a stop to these causes—
This too has been taught by the Great Shramana.

Om ye dharma hetuprabhava by Maya

Just find a quite corner wherever you are. Close your eyes and listen to this track. I hope you find your centre and are able to slow down! Peace and power to you!

The essence of the seven-branch prayer is to purify our contaminated karmas and accumulate merit as a complete path to spiritual enlightenment. It does this by systematically addressing the mind and creating the necessary causes and conditions for practice through its seven limbs: prostration, offering, confession, rejoicing, requesting teachings, requesting the Buddha to remain, and dedicating merit. Ultimately, it grounds the practitioner in virtue and strengthens the motivation for achieving enlightenment to benefit all beings.

SEVEN BRANCH PRAYER

The Jaya Maṅgala Gāthā, also known as the Verses of Victory, is a set of Pali stanzas chanted in the Theravāda Buddhist tradition. Each verse recalls a moment in the Buddha’s life where he overcame a powerful obstacle — not by force, but through wisdom, compassion, and unshakable presence.

These stories affirm one simple truth: true victory is inner victory — mastery over fear, ego, confusion, and suffering.

A gentle, grounding chant that invokes the Buddha’s eight great victories over fear, illusion, and adversity. These verses are traditionally recited for protection, clarity, and auspicious beginnings.

This track offers a calm, steady rhythm that helps you settle into breath, release tension, and reconnect with inner strength.

JAYA MANGALA GATHA

Triratna Anusmṛti — Recollection of the Three Jewels
The Three Jewels — the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha are considered the most reliable sources of refuge and guidance in Buddhism.

The practice of anusmṛti (recollection) is essentially mindful remembering; returning the mind again and again to what is steady, trustworthy, and liberating.

In this sādhana, practitioners gently reflect on:
1. The Buddha — as a symbol of awakened potential within all beings
2. The Dharma — the path of truth, insight, and freedom from suffering
3. The Sangha — the community that walks the path with sincerity and compassion

The significance is simple and profound: recollecting the Three Jewels stabilizes the mind, strengthens intention, and reconnects you with your deeper purpose.

It is one of the oldest meditation practices in Buddhism and is believed to cultivate serenity, clarity, and inner refuge.

A calm and steady chant that brings the mind back to refuge: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. This track guides you into a space of grounding and trust — a gentle reminder of the qualities within us that are wise, compassionate, and unshakeable. 

Ideal for quiet mornings, reflective evenings, or moments when you need to return to centre.
