Peace All Over The World
We met Robert Bradley while shooting our first film, “Playing for Change: A Cinematic Discovery of Street Music.” Robert is originally from Detroit, Michigan, but we filmed this song in Los Angeles in front of a Playing For Change graffiti wall painted by a local artist. We had just finished a take of Robert singing “Playing For Change Blues,” a song we created while filming across America, and were beginning to interview him. All of a sudden he started speaking the lyrics to this song… We immediately grabbed another mic for his guitar, plugged it directly into the camera and asked him to perform it for us. Enjoy!
Peace Through Music: Playing For Change: Chanda Mama
I saw this beautiful video through one of my fellow tweeters and friend “Prasad Palacharla.” I had to post this video so that everyone can see it. It is a music video of a song called “Chanda Mama” and it was recorded from many parts of the world. They had one beat playing, and with that same beat they went around the world having people from different parts to sing on the musical track. It is amazing how it all pieced together. And this is a beautiful example of what UNITY sounds like. When we all forget about race, creed, religion, sect, group, or whatever we use to identify ourselves, when we forget that, and just come together as a human being, as ONE BIG FAMILY, because WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS no matter, we can make beautiful music in Peace and Harmony. Watch and enjoy this video.
Namaste!

Jimmy Cliff – I can see clearly now
Smile, and see clearly, it’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin’ day.
Lyrics:
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin’ day
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin’ day

Very inspiring song.

Many rivers to cross
But I can’t seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover
Metta Loving kindness
Metta means loving-kindness. THE METTA SUTTA The Buddha’s Teaching on Loving-kindness This is what should be done By one who is skilled in goodness, And who knows the path of peace: Let them be able and upright, Straightforward and gentle in speech. Humble and not conceited, Contented and easily satisfied. Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways. Peaceful and calm, and wise and skilful, Not proud and demanding in nature. Let them not do the slightest thing That the wise would later reprove. Wishing: In gladness and in safety, May all beings be at ease. Whatever living beings there may be;
Karuna
Karuna in Sanskrit is compassion. Compassion is action to stop suffering
Compassion comes out of wisdom. Wisdom is seeing that all beings and phenomena are interdependent. You suffer, so I suffer. I stop your suffering and bring you happiness and become happy myself…….Buddha’s teachings are wonderful !

Jayamangala Gatha: Proud to be a Buddhist
Jayamangala Gatha: Stanzas of Victory
The recital of the Jayamangala Gatha, a set of eight benedictory stanzas extolling the virtues of the Buddha, is usually done on important occasions or when inaugurating any venture of significance. The contents of the stanzas, when recited clearly, are intended to bring happiness and success in all good endeavours we embark upon. These verses have come to be called “The Stanzas of Victory” or Jayamangala Gatha. A unique feature that concludes each verse is the line “By virtue of this, may joyous victory be yours.” These stanzas are regarded as efficacious because they relate to eight occasions, each based on beautiful story, where the Buddha triumphed over his powerful opponents by the sheer power of good.
White Tara Mantra
She is distinguished by “her body … white, as an autumn moon; clear as a stainless crystal gem, radiating light. She has one face, two hands, three eyes. She is described in manuals as having “the youth of 16 years” but is often depicted as more full-bodied than Green Tara. Her right hand makes the gift-bestowing gesture, and with the thumb and ring finger of her left hand she holds a branch of white utpala, its petals on the level of her ear.
