Planting Seeds, Practicing Mindfulness with Thich Nhat Hanh Preview 3

Genius is an overused term. Often by me. Maybe even on these posts… But Cosmo lives up to it. 

It would be enough to create an experimental record including the sonic representation of the electromagnetic “clangs” that a new day brings on this Earth. It would be enough to create lush folk-tronic beats out of slates falling from mountains. It would be enough to write densely imaginative, hallucinogenic sound poems. But to do all of this, in one song, and wrap it in melodies that you’ll be humming all day. That’s special.

This early unreleased demo of his debut 7” “The Moss” on our ‘paradYse’ imprint is radically different from the final version, but leads you down the rabbit hole all the same.

We continue the adventure with Cosmo, with a new EP, with further details announced shortly.

from the debut ep, This I Heard (songs and melodies, part 1)

Two promises

A cover of a Plum Village Song. Great for walking meditation. =]

Take your time, breathing in breathing out
Look deeply as you say "This is me"
You and your breathe, you and the air
As hummingbird and flower have always been together

Take gentle steps, feel the ground curl your toes
Is there a line between you and this path?
You and your step, you and the earth
As butterfly and blossom have never been apart.

Take Your Time

I am Remembering

A jam session at Deer Park Monastery with monastics and laypeople right before the Family Retreat on Jun 2011

Mother earth is a great big ship that we are sailing on (sailing on)
Sailing on through space and time (space and time)
Touch the earth, feel your worth
Awaken to this new rebirth
Know your heart and open up the divine (up the divine)

Mother Earth - Written by Avril Yospa Harwood

The river is flowing, flowing and growing
The river is flowing back to the sea
Mother Earth carry me, your child I will always be
Mother Earth carry me, back to the sea.

The River is Flowing - Written by Sun Bear (Native American elder and teacher)

We're all moving on a journey to nowhere
Taking it easy, taking it slow
No more worries, no need to hurry
Nothing to carry, let it all go.

We're All Moving

Recorded by ex-Plum Village Brother Michael. This is Thich Nhat Hanh's revised Heart Sutra, which he completed just before becoming ill in September 2014.  The Music is composed by Phap Linh, an English monk based at Plum Village.  Thich Nhat Hanh approved the music before suffering a stroke in November 2014, from which he is still recovering.

Serendipity

Here is the Pure Land
The Pure Land is here
I smile in mindfulness
And dwell in the present moment

The Buddha is seen in an Autumn leaf
The Dharma is a floating cloud
The Sangha body is everywhere
My true home is right here

Breathing in, flowers are blooming
Breathing out, I am aware that
Bamboo is swaying, my mind is free
And I enjoy every moment

Here is the Pure Land

Awaken Spirit of the Earth
I feel you growing me 
I am home, I am home

Awaken Spirit of the Rain
I feel you flowing me
I am home, I am home

Awaken Spirit of the Wind
I feel you blowing me
I am home, I am home

Awaken Spirit of the Sun
I feel you burn in me
I am home, I am home
We are home, we are home

I Am Home

Awakened spirit of the Earth,
I feel you growing me. (2x)
I am home, I am home (2x)

Awakened spirit of the Rain,
I feel you flowing me. (2x)
I am home, I am home (2x)

Awakened spirit of the Wind,
I feel you blow through me. (2x)
I am home, I am home (2x)

Awakened spirit of the Sun
I feel you burn in me (2x)
I am home, I am home (2x)

We are home, We are home (2x)
