The word dhāraṇī derives from a Sanskrit root √dhṛ meaning "to hold or maintain".This root is likely derived from the historical Vedic religion of ancient India, where chants and melodious sounds were believed to have innate spiritual and healing powers even if the sound cannot be translated and has no meaning (as in a music). In Buddhism, sutras, also known as suttas, are canonical scriptures, many of which are regarded as records of the oral teachings of The Buddha.

Dharani for invoking the Precious Names of the Five Tathagatas (Buddhas and Bodhisattvas). Chinese text with Japanese pronunciation.

(The power of this dharani is to help release lost souls and hungry ghosts from their distress.)

The Four Buddhist Vows

Give Me Time

HS47-47T pre-order now available: https://handstitched.bandcamp.com/album/phases-dream-vestibuli

Handstitched* is proud to announce a new release — the latest in the split-artist series from Alexandre Navarro and Caya.

Navarro's Phases & Caya's Dream Vestibuli is a contrasting range of electronic-acoustic and organic sounds — featuring Navarro's signature sklent and emphasised imaginations alongside Caya's emotive, tape-infused and hauntingly natural soundscapes. The results are two engaging and alternative perspectives, focused on their diverse range of sound and melodic fusions.

The release is available in a limited edition of 50, hand-numbered copies on both CD and tape — handmade gatefold collage covers for the CD and printed o-cards for the pro-dubbed tape.

Released: February 24, 2023

Tracks 1-5 Alexandre Navarro - @alexandrenavarro

Zen Master Hakuin [1689 -1769]
"Give this work to those who are seriously ill or who have met with some unexpected disaster, and have them examine it for their consolation. If it is recited with sincerity, awe-inspiring miracles will without fail be accomplished. Its first advantage is that the person who recites it will be completely free from disease and will attain to long life. This applies to anyone at all. . . ."

Enmei Jukku Kannon Gyo

Kan ze on na mu butsu yo butsu u en yo butsu u
En bup po so en jo raku ga jo cho nen
Kan ze on bo nen kan ze on nen
Nen ju shin ki nen nen fu ri shin

English translation by Maezumi Roshi

Kanzeon! At one with the Buddha, related to all Buddhas in cause and effect,
And to Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, joyful pure eternal being.
Morning mind is Kanzeon, evening mind is Kanzeon.
This very moment arises from mind, this very moment is not separate from mind.

Enmei Jukku Kannon Gyo - Kannon Sutra

Jizo Shingon Dharani

OM KA KA KABI SON MA E SOWA KA
Jizo Bodhisattva is known for making a vow to be present with and benefit all suffering beings until every single one awakens. Jizo is also the protector of women, children, and travellers. 

Jizo is known to specifically help children who have died too soon to navigate the transition between birth and death. Zen monasteries in Japan offer Jizo ceremonies to help ease the grief of women who have lost their babies during pregnancy or childbirth.

'TheDelta57' came up with a great idea for a track and was kind enough to let me get my hands on it. When I had finished playing around, I asked Skyline Tigers if she was interested in coming up with some lyrics (shown below) and singing on it. Luckily for everyone, she was and wow, what a fantastic job she did. Her voice is just incredible on this.

Lyrics below, by Skyline Tigers:

 You belong to me
Till I set you free

This one night only (you belong to me)
Make your love own me
Need you to show me (till I set you free)
Make your love own me

You belong to me
Till I set you free 
You belong to me

This brief encounter
That single hour
Gave me the power
To devour
Your pleasure and your pain

That deep attraction
That spiritual reaction
Giving me action
Satisfaction
Exploding in my veins

Feel how I want you (x3)
You belong to me
Till I set you free

This one night only (you belong to me)
Make your love own me
Need you to show me (till I set you free)
Make your love own me

This brief encounter
That single hour
Gave me the power
To devour
Your pleasure and your pain

That deep attraction
That spiritual reaction
Giving me action
Satisfaction
Exploding in my veins

That brief encounter
That single hour

That brief encounter
That single hour
Giving me power
Devour
The pleasure and the pain

Satisfaction

I want you baby

First Encounter (feat. Skyline Tigers and TheDelta57)

I love to sing with my guitar. Love to play my guitar and sing.

I practice Zen too, so sometimes I combine traditional Zen Buddhist chants with guitar instrumentals that I have composed, other times just sing a folk song or a popular song that resonates with me.

Looking forward to the upcoming release of songs produced and engineered by Brad Stock, Painted Sky Studios. Be the first to know!
