Imee Ooi Buddhist Chants

Post by rory »

You can now buy Imee Ooi's chants: Heart Sutra, Medicine Buddha Dharanis, Tisarana, Metta, Great Compassion Mantra as MP3's for 99 cents over at Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_ ... +ooi&ajr=0

She's a great artist spreading the Dharma, I've learned to chant the Great Compassion Mantra in Sanskrit thanks to her wonderful recordings!; for those who've heard her or those who haven't yet; buy an MP3 : we all can afford 99 cents!

The Tai-ching states "the women in the realms of Mara, Sakra and Brahma all neither abandoned ( their old) bodies nor received (new) bodies. They all received buddhahood with their current bodies (genshin)" Thus these verses state that the dharma nature is like a great ocean. No right or wrong is preached (within it) Ordinary people and sages are equal, without superiority or inferiority

They are also available on iTunes.

I sometimes will listen to these all day, it really makes life pleasant. What music you listen to can really influence your mind a lot.
Master Hsing-Yun, [i]Sounds of the Dharma: Buddhism and Music[/i], p. 2. Quoting 'Treatise on the Perfection of Great Wisdom' wrote:In order to build a pure land, the bodhisattvas make use of beautiful music to soften people’s hearts. With their hearts softened, people’s minds are more receptive, and thus easier to educate and transform through the teachings. For this reason, music has been established as one type of ceremonial offering to be made to the Buddha.
Perhaps Imee Ooi is a Bodhisattva building a pureland, and her music is probably not too different from the singing of the birds in the pureland.

Amazon says they don't, as yet, sell music in MP3 format outside of the USA.

Aemilius: all you need is a US address to get Amazon US only books and things, maybe you have a friend or relative. (though that's extremely aggravating, sorry I didn't know)
