That Spark	

[intro]

Verse 1:
In every heart 
a Buddha lies,
A spark of light 
that never dies,
From darkest night 
to brightest day,
We all can find 
the Buddha way.

Chorus:
Oh, the Lotus blooms, 
(The Lotus blooms)
For one and all, 
(For one and all)
In the silence, listen close, 
You'll hear that call. 
(You'll hear that call)
From mountain high to deep blue sea, 
(Mount to sea)
Buddha's wisdom sets us free. 
(Sets us free)

Verse 2:
With skillful means, 
the teacher shows,
A path 
that only each one knows,
From many roads, 
we walk as one,
Till all our journeys 
are undone.

Chorus:
Oh, the Lotus blooms, 
(The Lotus blooms)
For one and all, 
(For one and all)
In the silence, listen close, 
You'll hear that call. 
(You'll hear that call)
From mountain high to deep blue sea, 
(Mount to sea)
Buddha's wisdom sets us free. 
(Sets us free)

Verse 3:
An eternal Buddha, 
timeless, true,
Guides us in all we say 
and do,
Through the veil 
of life’s disguise,
A deeper truth 
before our eyes.

Chorus:
Oh, the Lotus blooms, 
(The Lotus blooms)
For one and all, 
(For one and all)
In the silence, listen close, 
You'll hear that call. 
(You'll hear that call)
From mountain high to deep blue sea, 
(Mount to sea)
Buddha's wisdom sets us free. 
(Sets us free)

[Instrumental]

Bridge:
In faith and love, 
we find our way,
With bodhisattvas, 
we will stay,
In every soul, 
a song is sung,
The path to peace 
for everyone.

Verse 4:
Non-duality 
we find,
The unity of heart 
and mind,
In the web of life, 
we see,
A cosmic dance 
of harmony.

Chorus:
Oh, the Lotus blooms, 
(The Lotus blooms)
For one and all, 
(For one and all)
In the silence, listen close, 
You'll hear that call. 
(You'll hear that call)
From mountain high to deep blue sea, 
(Mount to sea)
Buddha's wisdom sets us free. 
(Sets us free)

Outro:
Present moment, 
here and now,
We make a humble, 
sacred vow,
To live in truth, 
with hearts so pure,
In the Lotus, 
we are sure.

[Instrumental]

That Spark

In today's reflection, recorded on my little hand-held mic, I share a few thoughts on my morning walk around the village.

Thank you as always for stopping by.

Much love, Julian

This is life - all of it

"You are the Witness (Ashtavakra’s Truth)" is a powerful, rhythmic song inspired by the wisdom of the Ashtavakra Gita, exploring the nature of consciousness, awareness, and self-realization. The lyrics contrast all that we believe we are—our bodies, thoughts, emotions—with the eternal awareness that lies beyond them.

You are the witness (Ashtavakra’s Truth)

The song builds on the central teaching that "Consciousness is awareness with a choice," emphasizing that true freedom comes from recognizing oneself as the silent witness beyond form, beyond illusion. Through a call-and-response chorus in multiple languages, the track embraces a universal perspective, blending philosophical depth with a modern, uplifting, and cinematic sound.

Musically, the song fuses dreamy ambient textures, cinematic strings, organic world percussion, and deep electronic beats, creating a meditative yet energizing experience. It flows between soft, introspective verses and anthemic, soul-stirring choruses, inviting listeners into a space of awakening and self-discovery.
