Buddha and Music

If you think POSITIVELY
Sound becomes MUSIC, Movement becomes DANCE, Smile becomes
LAUGHTER Mind becomes
MEDITATION,
And life becomes
a CELEBRATION!


The Buddha (also known as Siddhattha Gotama or Siddhārtha Gautama) was a philosopher, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who lived in ancient India (c. 5th to 4th century BCE). He is revered as the founder of the world religion of Buddhism. He taught for around 45 years and built a large
following, both monastic and lay. His teaching is based on his insight into dukkha (typically translated as "suffering") and the end of dukkha
the state called Nibbāna or Nirvana.


Buddha's view on Music 

According to lotus sutra, chapter 27 Bodhisattva Wonderful Music......

When Shakyamuni Buddha emits a brilliant light, many Buddhas and bodhisattvas in the Universe
receive the sign of the preaching
of the Lotus Sutra.

The Samadhi of Revelation of All Forms is a type of meditation in which the bodhisattva is able to transform into immense forms in order to save living beings. This is one of the expedient
methods because it is an approach that takes into consideration the different
needs and nature of the living beings for the purpose of salvation.

Music and songs are wonderfulways to give offerings to the Buddhas,apart from the usual offerings such as flowers or
incense.

Music - Meditation

From mood enhancement and relaxation
to full-blown oneness with the cosmos, music has the ability to powerfully shift
our state of mind. Meditation is not that
different. Meditation lowers the stress hormone cortisol, helps us sleep better, and rewires the brain with a host of positive emotional qualities. Attempting to meditate in a nightclub may not be high on the list of recommended
practices for monks and yogis, but maybe it should be: When you're fully lost in music, you're getting a taste of nirvana without any of the rigorous training.

Watch this peacefull music, meditate get relaxation.


The goal of both music and meditation is
to create a powerful and positive shift in our mental state. Music is a reliable source of transformational experience for many, and we are attracted to music for the same reasons that meditators meditate. Music and meditation both allow a fuller and richer experience of
our emotions: They stop our incessant
and often negative mental chatter and offer us an opportunity to inhabit the present moment more fully and meaningfully. These are all important for
good health and happiness in human
beings.

Music and Spirituality

Music is part of all authentic spiritual traditions: It has been utilized as an important element of spiritual rites and rituals to unify groups with each other and the divine, to focus the mind, explore deeper truths, and to transcend the bounds of ordinary existence. The
chanted mantras and ragas of the Hindu
traditions, the psalms of David in the Bible, yoga's seed syllable "om," and the hymns of modern gospel churches are all examples of tools that are universally
used to bring spiritual practitioners to higher states of consciousness.
