about

What if the Buddha was into techno? What if, as he tried to quiet both his mind and body, he felt the compulsive urge to groove with the rhythm of the universe? What more needs, or should, be said?

"It is not good to talk about Zen because Zen is nothingness. If you talk about it you are always lying, and if you don't talk about it no one knows it is there." -- Robert Pirsig

lyrics

I know I’ve told you to be still with yourself
And I’ve mentioned once or twice to escape the wheel of life
But sometimes I can’t stand it
The music takes up too much bandwidth in my brain
It’s the pulsing in my ear from my rhythmic beating heart
It’s the chanting in my fleeting soul that tears my focus apart
It’s the light in my chest that pulses with the beat of every living creature that makes me move my feet
The wheel of dharma spinning like a cosmic record
My flow, my rap, my line coming one lifetime at a time
If I’m dancing down the street, I really hope you kill me

Consider the journey of one particle of light
Beginning its existence in a mass of giant gas
Sailing through the darkness down the sloping waves of energy
Cascading with no purpose, no fate, no intended direction
By chance to land on my eye at a random moment devoid of revelation
Do not be saddened by a seemly pointless happenstance
For without it, I would be blind
