Music as Practice
I recently listened to an old song called Zen Gospel Singers by
Brian Bauer. The song is a fun look at the lack of music as part
of Zen Buddhist services, and tells of missing the old Christian Gospel
music. In the past year I have received email asking about
Buddhist music for children. Is music missing from Buddhist practice?
Although I have not been able to find much, here are some resources for
Buddhist Music:
-
Motherlight by Betsy Rose. Audiotape A collection of
Dharma for the family. Available from Parallax
Press.
-
In My Two Hands by Betsy Rose. Audiotape A collection of
songs based on the poetry and teachings of Thich Nhat Hahn. Available from
Parallax Press.
-
The Blooming of the Lotus by Thich Nhat Hahn. Book.
This book of guided Meditations includes musical scores to some of the
meditations. Available from Parallax
