about

Through practice and the dropping of labels, religion is transcended.

lyrics

Lighter than light
Like a BuddhaChrist
Where the east meets the west

Clear up foggy eyes
Dropping all disguise
Ancient truths hidden away

Bring words to life no longer misinterpreted
By literal minds who cannot understand

Open hearts and minds
To wisdom and mercy
Like a BuddhaChrist
Putting words into practice
We grow in pure awareness

Long hair of white
Eyes like blazing fire
He walks with feet of bronze

Said we should not judge
Or cast pearls before swine
They will tear you to pieces

Not a teacher of law, but on his own authority
Like difficult Zen koans he taught through his parables

Across the divide
We row to the other side
Leaving the crowds behind
Immersed in profound stillness
In greener pastures we find our lambs

Freeing us from dogma
The mystery must remain
Rebuking the wind
Commanding the waves
To be still

Open hearts and minds
To wisdom and mercy
Like a BuddhaChrist
Putting words into practice

With a steady mind
Enter the flow of life
Then you will do
Greater things than I

Look deep inside
To the inner quiet
