Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers Van Sessions. Some samples of a Buddy Holly's "Everyday" and Hall & Oates' "I Can't Go For That." The Hall & Oates cover is so tight.

Nice, but it makes me want to hear the original
What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us
-- Dharmakirti
This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.
SN I, 38.
Níl sa saol seo ach ceo
There is naught in this life but mist
Is ní bheimid beo ach seal beag gearr.
And we will not be alive but a short hard time.

Happy birthday John Mclaughlin. Back in the 70's I was reading The Upanishads and The Bhagavad Gita, and wondering about John and Carlos - and Shri Chinmoy. John always seemed so wholesome and radiant
Some of his music was certainly awesome.

The Hobbit soundtrack, by Howard Shore. Not as good as the soundtrack to The Lord Of The Rings, but still...
On spotify.

"The point of meditation is to essentially push the ego into a corner so that it has nowhere else to go. The ego is based on attachment—our attachment to the body and to ideas. When the ego is cornered and has nowhere to go, the only thing one can do is to put it down. And when one puts down the ego, then that is enlightenment."

Through many of samsara’s births I hasten seeking, finding not the builder of this house - pain is birth again, again.
O builder of this house you’re seen, you shall not build a house again, all your beams have given away, rafters of the ridge decayed, mind to the unconditioned gone, exhaustion of craving has it reached.
Dhp - 153, 154

To anyone who enjoys instrumental music, I highly recommend this band:

Glad you enjoyed it!
Here's another instrumental I like (A bit more on the Jazz side of things)

Wonderful. I hope that you don't mind my posting this in response, Mr. Man.
Last year, I had the opportunity to try Sacred Harp singing, and was floored by the experience. I have no musical training, and was slow to grasp the notation. But the sound produced is amazingly cathartic. Everyone should try it

Thanks for the clip imagemarie. The last line is great "my favorite song is the one I am singing".

Nice cover of a great song along with some great skiing.

Ok not posted what I listen too since page one or something so here goes
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

"Others will misconstrue reality due to their personal perspectives, doggedly holding onto and not easily discarding them; We shall not misconstrue reality due to our own personal perspectives, nor doggedly holding onto them, but will discard them easily. This effacement shall be done."
