Re: If samsara had a theme song...
This is a good one:
Many years ago today something grew
Inside of your mother...
That thing was you
YOU
YOU YOU YOU YOU
Did she scream did she cry
Only those that are born are the ones that
Get to die
One more year closer to dying
Rotting organs ripping grinding
Biological discordance
Birthday equals self abhorrence
Years keep passing aging always
Mutate into vapid slugs
Doctor gives a new perscription
Bullet in a frak gun
One more year closer to dying
Plastic surgeons fuel the lying
You forget why you came in here
Your mind rots with every New Year
RSVP PLEASE
For the DETH of thee
You have little time
Happy Birthday
You're gonna die
Now you're old and full of hatred
Take a pill to masturbatred
Children point to you and scream
Because they will become that thing
One more year of further suffering
There's no point of frak bluffing
Open up your DETHDAY present
It's a box of frak nothing
RSVP PLEASE
For the DETH of thee
You have little time
And you're running out of life
Happy Birthday
Your Gonna DIE
DIE DIE
DETHDAY
BIRTHDAY
DETHDAY
DIE DIE
DETHDAY
BIRTHDAY
DETHDAY
RSVP PLEASE
For the DETH of thee
You have little time
And you're running out of life

Many meditators know how to meditate,
But only a few know how to dismantle [mental clinging].

Just about every sone ever written is about samsara. Every Hollywood movie is a glorification of samsara.

Re: If samsara had a theme song...
This is true about songs and movies. There are lists of Dharma related movies, but just about every movie is somewhat Dharmic, with the sufferings of samsara or good winning over evil, morality winning over immorality, etc.KeithBC wrote:Just about every sone ever written is about samsara.

But just for fun . . .

3. Third Noble Truth: Rolling Stones' You can't always get what you want
4. Fourth Noble Truth: John Lennon's Imagine

My Internet connection is too slow to allow me to play videos, so I don't know if this has already been submitted:

dzogchungpa, The music is lovely but the visual message enmeshed with the Buddha is what crass consumerism is all about. Lets make a buck no matter what!

“We are each living in our own soap opera. We do not see things as they really are. We see only our interpretations. This is because our minds are always so busy...But when the mind calms down, it becomes clear. This mental clarity enables us to see things as they really are, instead of projecting our commentary on everything.” Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo.

Re: If samsara had a theme song...
Who better than BLUR to describe samsara?
Charmless man
lyric excerpts:
Educated the expensive way
He knows his claret from a beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way
He thinks his educated airs those family shares
Will protect him, that you will respect him
He moves in circles of friends who just pretend that they like him
He does the same to them and when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man

If this is a virtual sangha, do we achieve virtualization instead of realization?
