Ani: Music/Video
Welcome Song (with Redbear and Rev. Noriaki Ito)
(Ani)
The passage "May the spiritual presence of the Buddha and all enlightenend ones,
past and present.." connected me to an Islamic passage in the Quran of how "many teachers have been sent and to many lands to teach us...". As for the Native American faith, I was incredible dumpfounded on how similar it is to Islam.
Zensho Kada Chant
Shan-tao (613-682)
May the spiritual presence of the Buddha and all enlightenend ones,
past and present, permeate this hall;
to send forth wisdom, like flower-petals falling from the sky,
to awaken those of us gathered.
