“Behold ! Hail to the jewel in the lotus !” Music by Tibetan Incantation: The Meditative Sounds of Buddhists Chants CD. Dedicated to The Enlightened Buddha named Prince Siddhartha born 500 BC in Nepal to a ruling class family. HH The Dalai Lama has provided just such an analysis. He concludes his discussion with this synopsis: “Thus the six syllables, Om Mani Padme Hum, mean that in dependence on the practice which is in indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech and mind into the pure body, speech, and mind of a Buddha.” Filmed by a friend in Hawaii at a waterfall near a volcano. The water represents the Long Stream of Life in the World of Samsara ! Samsara ( The Matrix ) is a life of illusion, attachment to people and objects, differentiation, craving, comparisons, arguments, contradictions, colour blindness, sensationalism, deception, gullibility and Ego-centric desires. Your attachment to worldly things. A fool’s Gangsta paradise. The following quotes and paragraphs below are a brief summary of Buddhism. The mind is turbulent and hard to control. The mind does not like discipline and will resist your efforts to discipline it. It loves its freedom more than anything else, and will try to stand in your way to master it, in any way it can.

‘Aluminum’? I think you mean aluminium
summer solstice
lol where was this song when I had my science exam today? XD
@DoggyHateFire Actually, the song’s been around since 1965, this is just TMBG’s cover of it. They did write the follow up “Why the Sun Really Shines” though.
this song is just so addictive
@StuffWithFreeTime preeetttty sure they meant “yo-ho” as in “yo-ho I’m a fucking pirate”
@DoggyHateFire it did
This thesis has been rendered invalid.
It’s made of Chuck Norris and He. The chart said it, not me.
@DoggyHateFire Depending on when you learned about this you would have been 11 when it released (judging by your age) (Released in 1993).
@DoggyHateFire Depending on when you learned this stuff, this song was around when you were 15 (judging by your posted age).
My god, my ears burn!!!! I jk… good song. xD
it’s songs like these that make the world go round.
@DoggyHateFire This song has been around since the 1959. TMBG did a cover in the early 1990s
awsome =P
I like when the cat plays the theremin.
@Skywatcher17
It’s not Aluminium in every country you know.
This song is so awesome! Every one in my (5th grade) class begs my teacher to listen to it. The only problem is that the sun is not made of gas!! It is made of plasma (the electrons are free).
this is the only educational song i like ^o^

Om la palabra sagrada, la canción que escuche a cada momento en mi viaje a Nepal—–
I found this song on a cd i bought by mistake and i listen to it all the time its so relaxing and amazing to hear when your getting ready to go out you dont feel stressed or rushed by anything at all
This is the sutra that cracked open my third eye like a nuclear fission going of in my head. I ended up in deep meditation for about two hours, and it was like a super white light went off in the room, with my eyes closed and the room dark. I picked this sutra “at random,” not knowing what it was supposed to do.
PEACE!
kk
I have heard this chant many a time and never seem to get over it. In fact, I meditate playing the same chant. I would like to copy the same on the CD, is there a download of this somewhere?

The voice of God.
