Summary
In a new twist, Lamas Yeshe & Zopa present Genuine Reality from the stance of contemplation and meditation first. Hear how song and your own experience provide us with the raw material for exploring genuine reality, here and now. Contemplation through song and follow a guided meditation to connect with what is true based on our own joy and inward experience. HERE ARE THE LYRICS TO OUR SINGING CONTEMPLATION, "FRIENDS"--JOIN US IN BELTING IT OUT! FRIENDS: A Song of Those who are Full of Love but Free of Attachment Friends are empty forms, like a water moon To think of them as being truly real Will only make your many sufferings increase To know they’re empty forms, like a water moon Will make illusion-like samadhi increase Compassion free of clinging will increase And non-referential view will also increase And meditation that’s fixation-free And conduct free of doer, deed increase Of all the many marvels, this, by far the most marvelous! Of all the many wonders, this, the most wonderful! Translated and arranged by Jim Scott, Marpa House, England, August 1997.
