Guten Morgen liebe Forumsmitglieder!

Auf der CD "Spiritus" von Patrick Bernard befindet sich ein Titel "Sutra of the Lotus", welcher mich sehr anspricht. Kann mir vielleicht jemand mehr darüber sagen?
Wünsch euch allen einen schönen Tag und

Alles Liebe

Liebe Melitta, ich habe Folgendes gefunden, auf dieser Seite: Spiritus song list , wo viel Interessantes und Schönes nachzulesen ist. Zu deinem "Lied" steht hier:

Opening the Lotus (Purification)

Riding on the sound waves of this sacred love song we allow the lotus of our hearts to open. Calling out past the perceived boundaries of space and time we gently gather all the other parts of ourselves, bringing them safely and completely into the sacred, perfect and whole moment of now where we experience the great perfection of the present moment. As our lotus heart slowly unfolds, obstructions and impurities are loosened allowing the full power of the divine to pour through us. In the fires of divine love all that is less than loving is released, creating a sanctuary of safety and healing. Into this sacred space of our purified heart we invite the souls of animals past present and yet to be born.

This piece contains two mantras:
The first entitled 'Opening of the Lotus', comes from the Shrimad Bhagavatam section of the Vedic scriptures, the original commentary of the Vedanta Sutra, the greatest treatise of Vedic cosmology which foretells of the coming of Buddha 2000 years in the future. This Divine Being will appear on earth out of great compassion and to stop the killing of animals for sacrifice. This mantra has great significance today because our civilization has become increasingly merciless to animals. In the past people killed animals in the name of religion and today we kill them in the name of health and science, which have become a kind of god.

Om nindasi yajnavidhe rahaha srutijatam
Om sadaya hrdaya darsitapasughatam
Kesava dhrta buddhasartra
Jaya jaya jahadisa hare
Jaya jayadisa hare

Translation:
O supreme Source in the body of Buddha
-the enlightened-
Out of the compassion of your heart
You have come to revoke the ritualistic portion of the Vedas
Ordaining the killing of animals.
Hail! Hari, Consciousness of the Universes. Glory to Thee!
You are in me.

The second piece, 'Sutra of the Lotus', an ancient Japanese mantra was chosen because of the beautiful sonorousness of the Japanese language. In this particular mantra the words are very short. Animals resonate with words that are sonorous and short. Also, this mantra contains the word renge which refers to the law of cause and effect. It resonates with the appearance of Lord Buddha who predicted that the killing of animals would create a reaction appearing in the form of disease, war and pestilence which we experience today.

Sutra of the Lotus (Buddhist Mantra-Japan)
Myo ho renge kyo
Nam myoho renge kyo
Namu ho renge kyo

Translation:
Myo: that which exists but is un-manifest
Ho: that which is manifest
Nam: engagement
Renge: lotus flower as a symbol of the law of cause and effect
Kyo: action, the path of Buddha

[Lotus Heart]

Liebe Melitta, liebe Sabine,
ich danke euch von Herzen. Ich bin schon lange auf der Suche nach einem neuen Nickname. Es sollte was mit Lotus sein. Jetzt habe ich ihn dank euch gefunden: LOTUS HEART!
Gerade gestern, als Sabine und Matthias ihren Nickname geändert haben, war ich wieder stark am Überlegen....
Es war sicherlich kein Zufall - und das beweist mir wieder, dass wir alle hier im Forum sehr verbunden sind!
DANKE!

HERZlichst
Gabi

für dich Gabi, das du deinen "Namen" gefunden hast.

Ich danke Sabine für die Info;

ich muss das mal auf mich wirken lassen lassen.

Dieser "Song" Mantra geht mir einfach nicht mehr aus dem Kopf.
Habe heut Nacht sogar davon geträumt.

Alles Liebe
