enjoyed the convo. deep and interesting stuff. "its a practice, not a belief system." ❤‍🔥

[@irinakosterina5099]

this is very good! I never thought that talking about music, scientific materialism could lead so strongly to a deeper understanding of spirituality and especially the importance of practicing and ways of surrendering

[@everydaykiva6377]

Br. Phap Linh is so very dear. He’s most like me in the way he thinks and processes the world. I find him a delight!

This music transports me to somewhere that feels like true home. It helps me return to that place of peace from which we disconnect so easily as soon as we lose awareness of the here and now. Thanks for the music, thanks for the peace you transmit.

[@maroulio2067]

This loving intention in the chant can be felt in the guided or deep relaxation meditations on the Plum Vilagge App. It is a precious gift. Appreciate.

Terrific conversation. (Pausing at the 40 minute mark). As a musician and meditator I experience a tension between a desire towards artistic self-expression (if we accept the notion of a provisional self), and a more contemplative approach to creativity based on interbeing and no-self. Look forward to hearing the rest soon!

There's no such thing as Buddhist music! Sensual entertainment is a cop-out in Buddhism. "Keep it simple ,stupid" said the Buddha, "I mean it!, Don't be like the Catholic Church or worse!,...Kenneth Copeland!!!"

May your suffering be tolerable 🙏🏼❤ 🙏🏼

Try practicing one of the brahmaviharas, instead of making music. Those are more universal. Even a deaf person would be able to recognize the kindness, compassion, joy for others, and inclusiveness (or even put them into practice). Music aren't sources of those. Don't waste your time with it.
