** LYRICS **
Om Mani Padme Hum

Born in Lumbini, prince with a crown,
Gold in the palace, heart still broke down.
Stepped out, saw death, saw sickness, saw pain,
Knew this rich life couldn’t break that chain.

Slipped out the gates in the dark of the night,
Searching for truth and the purest light.
Six years deep, through the hunger and fire,
But peace didn’t come, just burning desire.

Om Mani Padme Hum 

Under the Bodhi Tree, didn’t move, didn’t sleep,
Faced Mara’s tricks, they were dark, they were deep.
Morning star rose, mind sharp as a blade,
No self, no fear, and the chains all fade.

Taught Middle Way, keep balance in soul,
Four Noble Truths gonna make you whole.
Eightfold Path, set the spirit free,
From craving’s chains to Nirvana’s sea.

Om Mani Padme Hum 

This ain’t a cage, this is freedom inside,
A map for the lost, and the restless to guide.
From the streets of the city to the mountains high,
The Dharma’s the truth, and it never will die.

Drop that weight, let compassion grow,
What you plant in the heart is the path you’ll go.
Bow to the teacher, the path, and the song,
Every step you take — you were free all along.

Om Mani Padme Hum

Om Mani Padme Hum - The Middle Way

Listen, O seekers  
Of peace and light  
There are two extremes  
That blind the sight  

One is the way 
Of pleasure’s chain  
Lost in senses 
Chasing gain  
That path is low  
It leads to pain  

The other the path 
Of thorns and fire  
Self-torment cloaked 
In holy attire  
Empty hunger  
Cold and dire  

Neither lust nor torture  
Can free the mind  
Avoid both O seekers  
The Middle Path you’ll find  

It opens the eye  
It opens the heart  
It leads to wisdom  
The end of dark  

Peace, insight  
And Nibbāna’s flame  
The Middle Way 
Is the noble name

MARK MAC WITH THE SOUNDS COLLECTIVE 7TH DEC 2025

AWAKEN THE BUDDHA

(Song-Mantra inspired by Dhammapada)

I call no man enlightened by a name,
No robe, no lineage, no borrowed flame.
You wear no crown, you claim no sky,
Yet kings dissolve when you walk by.

You left no trace where fear once stood,
No hook in mind, no twisted good.
Desire falls from your open hand,
Like ash returning to sacred land.

Awaken the Buddha, living in me,
Not in stone, not in history.
Awaken the one who has never been bound,
Who walks through the world without a sound.

Awaken the silence, deeper than breath,
The place beyond craving, the womb beyond death.
Awaken the fire that does not burn —
The truth that waits for none to return.

You cut the thread where hunger grew,
You drank the void until it knew.
No past commands, no future schemes,
You sleep awake inside your dreams.

No god to beg, no hell to flee,
No mirror left called “enemy.”
The self undone, the heart made vast,
Even karma loosens its past.

Awaken the Buddha, bone and flame,
Who forgot the game, who dropped the name.
Awaken the one who does not seek —
The wordless word, the vowless mystique.

Not born.
Not made.
Not owned.
Not saved.

Unhooked from time.
Unbranded soul.
No altar left.
Only whole.

Awaken the Buddha — not someday, not then,
But here in the breath before "me" and "them."
Not as a symbol, not as a dream,
But the one who watches the mind un-dream.

Awaken the Buddha who never tried,
Who needed no mountain, no teacher, no tide.
Awaken the light that cannot be known —
The throne that stands where nothing is throne.

Awaken… Awaken…Awaken…
The one who was never asleep.

AWAKEN THE BUDDHA

Matthew Brensilver • Four Types of Grief and their Relationship to Love • Dec 5, 2025  •  In-Person

The Four Noble Truths

Then softly he spoke
The Fourfold Light
The medicine for the 
World’s long night

First, he said
Understand this pain
Birth, aging, death
Loss, and gain
Separation, longing
Fleeting delight
All is dukkha
Shadows in light

The five heaps we cling to
Body and mind
Are impermanent rivers
To nothing confined

Second, he said
The cause is known
Craving’s seed that 
We have sown
Thirst for pleasure
Thirst for becoming

Thirst for non-being
The wheel’s endless running
From craving’s fire
Arises sorrow’s smoke

From craving’s fire
Arises sorrow’s smoke
The chain of becoming 
Never broke.

Third, he said
The end can be
The flame goes out
The heart is free
When craving fades
All grasping ends
Peace unfolds
Where nothing bends

This stillness is 
Nibbāna’s shore
Where birth and death 
Touch no more

Fourth, he said
The path to cease
Is the Noble Way
The road of peace
Follow the Eightfold Path sublime
And cross the river
Beyond time

The phrase “five heaps we cling to” (Pāli: pañcupādānakkhandhā) is one of the core teachings of the Buddha, directly connected to the First Noble Truth of dukkha (unsatisfactoriness or suffering).

Let’s unfold it clearly and deeply:

🌿 The “Five Heaps” — The Khandhas (Aggregates)

The Buddha described what we call a “person” not as a fixed self or soul, but as five dynamic processes or “heaps” (khandhas, often translated as aggregates).

These are:

Form (Rūpa) — the physical body, matter, all that is material and sensed.

Feeling (Vedanā) — sensations: pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral.

Perception (Saññā) — recognition, labeling, memory of what we sense.

Mental formations (Saṅkhārā) — intentions, thoughts, habits, reactions, volitions.

Consciousness (Viññāṇa) — the knowing awareness that arises when there’s contact between senses and their objects.

🔗 “We Cling To” — The Source of Suffering

In the lyric, “The five heaps we cling to” refers to how we grasp at these five processes as “me”, “mine”, or “my self”.

We identify with:

My body, my appearance (Form)

My feelings, my pleasures, my pain (Feeling)

My views, my memories (Perception)

My thoughts, my choices, my will (Mental formations)

My awareness, my consciousness (Consciousness)

Yet, as the verse continues:

“Are impermanent rivers / To nothing confined”

— this shows that these heaps are constantly flowing and changing, not static, not self-contained.
They are like currents in a river, forming what we call “self,” but in truth, there’s no solid entity — just movement, interdependence, and flux.

🌊 The Insight

When the Buddha said that dukkha arises because of clinging (upādāna) to the five heaps, he meant:

Suffering comes when we grasp impermanent processes as if they were permanent, controllable, or truly “I”.

The lyric captures that beautifully:

“Body and mind / Are impermanent rivers / To nothing confined.”

It poetically expresses anattā — the “non-self” nature of existence — and how liberation (Nibbāna) arises when one ceases to cling to these transient heaps.

✨ In short:

“The five heaps we cling to” =
Our mistaken attachment to body and mind processes as “me.”
When we see their impermanence and stop grasping, suffering dissolves — and the heart awakens to peace.
