Lyrics:
(Verse 1) In the silence of the night, where the stars align, 
The wisdom of the ages, flows through space and time. 
Beneath the jeweled trees, where the Buddhas shine, 
We gather round the fire, to hear the truth divine.

(Chorus) Oh, the river flows, with the light of endless days, 
Guided by the Buddha, we walk the timeless ways. 
Through the sands of countless worlds, we find our peace, 
In the river of eternal truth, where all suffering shall cease.

(Verse 2) Spiritual seekers rise, like grains of golden sand, 
Holding to the mantra, in the palm of their hand. 
The wheel of wisdom turns, in every heart it spins, 
Leading to the shores, where enlightenment begins.

(Chorus) Oh, the river flows, with the light of endless days, 
Guided by the Buddha, we walk the timeless ways. 
Through the sands of countless worlds, we find our peace, 
In the river of eternal truth, where all suffering shall cease.

[Instrumental]

(Bridge) Mandarava falls, from the heavens up high, 
Covering the Buddhas, as they sit in the sky. 
Heavenly drums beat soft, with no hands in sight, 
While the scent of sandalwood drifts through the night.

(Verse 3) In the circle of this life, some have miles to go, 
But every step they take, the truth begins to show. 
One more lifetime here, or eight to understand, 
The river of eternal truth, will lead us to that land.

(Chorus) Oh, the river flows, with the light of endless days, 
Guided by the Buddha, we walk the timeless ways. 
Through the sands of countless worlds, we find our peace, 
In the river of eternal truth, where all suffering shall cease.

(Outro) So let the flowers rain, let the incense rise, 
As we sing to the Buddhas in the boundless skies. 
In the river of eternal truth, we’ll find our song, 
A journey to enlightenment, where we all belong.

Dive into the soulful currents of 'Necklace of the Boundless Heart,' a bluesy folk ballad inspired by the Lotus Sutra’s timeless tale of compassion and shared merit. With a voice full of grit and grace, this song weaves the story of Bodhisattvas offering a jeweled necklace not for themselves, but for all beings—from dragons in the deep to gods in the sky. The slow, rhythmic pace carries you down a golden river of kindness, blending raw emotion with cosmic wonder. Perfect for those who love heartfelt storytelling, spiritual resonance, and a touch of the blues.

Lyrics: 
[Verse 1]
Down by the river where the lotus grows,
Endless-Intent came with a gift to show,
A necklace of gems, shining bright as the dawn,
For World-Voice who hears every cry that’s born.

[Chorus]
Oh, share that merit, let it roll like the tide,
Boundless compassion, reaching far and wide,
From the gods in the sky to the dragons below,
A heart full of mercy makes the whole world glow.

[Verse 2]
World-Voice said, "No, I don’t need that shine,
My hands are for healin’, not holdin’ what’s mine."
But the Buddha spoke soft, with a voice so clear,
"Take it for the lost ones, the ones livin’ in fear."

[Chorus]
Oh, share that merit, let it roll like the tide,
Boundless compassion, reaching far and wide,
From the gods in the sky to the dragons below,
A heart full of mercy makes the whole world glow.

[Bridge]
He split that treasure, two halves in his hands,
One for the Buddha, one for the timeless land,
No greed in his soul, just a gift to send,
A circle of kindness that’ll never end.

[Verse 3]
For the monks and the nuns, for the folks on the way,
For the spirits that dance at the end of the day,
Yakshas and garudas, kinnaras sing,
Every livin’ thing caught in samsara’s sting.

[Reprise verse 3]
For the monks and the nuns, for the folks on the way,
For the spirits that dance at the end of the day,
Yakshas and garudas, kinnaras sing,
Every livin’ thing caught in samsara’s sting.

[Outro]
So sing me a sutra, let the verses unwind,
Of a necklace that frees every troubled mind,
Through the dust and the blues, let the story be told,
Boundless merit shines like a river of gold.

Necklace of the Boundless Heart

Share Your Blessings, Let 'Em Shine

A soulful folk blues rendition of a powerful story from the Lotus Sutra. "Share Your Blessings, Let 'Em Shine" recounts the tale of Endless-Intent Bodhisattva's generous offering and the Buddha's teaching on the importance of compassion. Through heartfelt lyrics and a bluesy melody, the song reminds us that true wealth lies in sharing our blessings and extending our merit to all living beings – from the highest gods to the smallest creatures. It's a call for selfless giving and a celebration of the boundless nature of compassion.


Lyrics: 
(Verse 1)
Woke up this mornin', Lotus Sutra in my hand,
Read 'bout a Bodhisattva, across the dusty land.
Endless-Intent, they called him, heart full of the light,
Offered up a necklace, shinin' ever so bright.

(Verse 2)
Gems of finest water, a treasure to behold,
Offered to World-Voice-Perceiver, a story to be told.
But that compassionate being, with wisdom in their eyes,
Said, "No, I cannot take it," beneath the temple skies.

(Verse 3)
Buddha watched this happenin', with a gentle, knowing smile,
Said, "Receive it, World-Voice, stay with it for a while.
For the sake of Endless-Intent, and all who seek the way,
And every livin' creature, from this very day."

(Verse 4)
Gods and mighty dragons, spirits in the air,
Yakshas and Gandharvas, all burdened by their care.
Asuras and Garudas, Kinnaras so sweet,
Mahoragas crawlin', on weary, dusty feet.

(Verse 5)
Humans and non-humans, every single soul,
Need a little kindness, to make their spirits whole.
So World-Voice then accepted, with compassion deep inside,
Divided up the treasure, with nothin' left to hide.

(Verse 6)
One part to the Buddha, the source of all we know,
The other to the stupa, where the precious teachings grow.
Reminds us when we're blessed, with fortune or with grace,
It ain't for keepin' selfish, gotta share it with the race.

(Outro)
Yeah, gotta share your blessings, let your merit shine,
Like that necklace in the story, makin' everything fine.
Lotus Sutra whisperin', a lesson plain and true,
What you got, you gotta give, for me and for you too.
