Two from The Kinks...

Celluloid Heroes



Where Are They Now?


Death should be recollected by comparison in seven ways, that is to say: with those of great fame, with those of great merit, with those of great strength, with those of great supernormal power, with those of great understanding, with paccekabuddhas, with fully enlightened Buddhas. How?

Although Mahāsammata, Mandhātu, Mahāsudassana, Daḷhanemi, Nimi, etc., were greatly famous and had a great following, and though they had amassed enormous wealth, yet death inevitably caught up with them at length, so how shall it not at length overtake me?

Great kings like Mahāsammata,
Whose fame did spread so mightily,
All fell into death’s power too;
What can be said of those like me?

(Path of Purification, ch. viii, recollection of death)
“Hobgoblin, nor foul fiend,
Shall daunt his spirit;”

If you didn't care
What happened to me
And I didn't care for you

We would zig-zag our way
Through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain

Wondering which of the
Buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing

Just as a bird, wherever it goes, flies with its wings as its only burden; so too is he content with a set of robes to provide for his body and almsfood to provide for his hunger. Wherever he goes, he takes only his barest necessities along. This is how a monk is content.(DN11)

Western Buddhism is the perfect ideological supplement to rabid consumerist capitalism.

Good old times with music! :toast: :twothumbsup:

Unfortunately, I am very prone to earworms and persisting tune-loops so listening to music was one of the first things that had to go when I started meditating.

On ocassion, I enjoy authentic Tibetan Buddhist chants (not the fluffy New Agey version with flutes and sappy synths :rolleye: ):

I got hook back to very old song I used to like when I was young.
This is not Sinhalese.
This is Hindi (North Indian)
