I like that term you’ve used!
Choose samsaric or not samsaric.
And i agree appreciating the wisdom in the lyrics, so often used to channell a message of guidance.
They can also connect people across the world like my experience:
One day abt 8 years ago i woke humming a tune, every morning for a week humming same tune which eventually forced me to work it out. It was this Suplication To Manjushri
Listen to Suplication To Manjushri by KuroKuma_70 on #SoundCloud
I asked a Facebook friend (didnt know him personally), a Tibetan monk if he could translate the song. We became friends and i met him 4 years later in India where he was my guide for a Buddhist pilgrimage i did.
Its the Medicine Buddha Manta (in artwork and Thangka’s he’s painted in blue)
Tayatha: like this
Om: signifies the totality of one’s being and the universe
Bekandze: eliminating pain or eliminating suffering
Maha bekandze: eliminating great pain, suffering in the soul
Radza: king or sovereign
Samudgate or Samu Gate: ocean of goodness
Soha: blessing, devotion, gratitude from which the realization comes
Its a really beautiful song and lyrics! Interesting symbolism just his reflection in the mirror. We are just like that reflection.
