Learn about Petition Thresholds Signatures needed by November 11, 2011 to reach goal of 25,000

we petition the obama administration to:

calls upon the People's Republic of China to put an end to its repression in Tibet as demonstrated by the ongoing unrest

I am writing this letter to draw your kind attention to the tense situation in Tibet due to the Chinese authorities’ increased restriction in the wake of a series of self-immolation by Tibetans in Ngaba Tibetan region...

let the water decide.

[lynds12341]

the horn freaks me out like a horror movie it made me so anxious

[Milleman87]

@lynds12341 Yeah me too I am meditating to find out why that is. It seems very deep rooted. So far I think it is because of what I heard about it's significance in Mahakala. It envokes wrathfulness so perhaps this is why....?

[drewpdrew2004]

Id rather listen to this rather than rap music anyday

[superfreakybunny]

does somebody know,where i can download music like this?

[jescuh1]

she grabbed my arm and assured me it would be ok. then she reached inside of me pulling out this ugly black stringy stuff and then pulled more black smoke from the middle of my forehead. then she just looked at me and smiled. and i was done :)

awesome. i feel great now, thanks!!

[kleineschutter]

@jescuh1 lol, what does krishna have to do with buddhism?

[freekylovejoy]

@kleineschutter everything!

[kleineschutter]

@freekylovejoy isn't krishna supposed to be hinduism?

[kleineschutter]

@freekylovejoy isn't krishna supposed to be from hinduism? buddhism doesn't have gods as far as I know..

[TomCollins519]

@kleineschutter no gods technically but there are bodhisattas such as amitabha, avalokiteshvara and more. they are idolized by laypeople in the much the same way as i understand.

[jescuh1]

so he came running towards me and i got scared for some reason and ran but then it turned into some kind of game because we in a maze, but not like a garden maze, it was these huge sandy walls. i remember how it felt when my feet were running across the sand floor. by now the music was calmer and i found krishna, who now looks like a really beautiful woman dressed in thousands of colorful light wraps of clothing. when the music started to get intense, i was scared and wanted to run but she...

[jescuh1]

wow i loved this! it took me a minute to get into my meditation, but soon i was in this place that for some reason reminded me of a palace. there were people carrying a big elephant like they would have carried princesses back in the day. and the elephant held this thing that was making that loud horn sound. and people were walking by him and around him chanting and then there was krishna in the form of a small boy who was ...ummm blue? then he came running (out of room lol next comment)

[StarSpawn06]

sometimes there's no deep meaning to the way traditional music sounds.

it's just due to the limitations of the instruments :P

[TriangleGenix]

Mao Zedong has 3 youtube accounts

[BlueberrySman]

since foreboding anyone

[madmum23]

ok, i found this video and decided to listen to it whilst wearing my headphones and had my volume up full blast,i have to admit the music scared me,especially the horn! but i felt like it did something to me,lke it relieved me of something in my heart?? i probably sound crazy to you but has anyone else experienced this or could any of you 'enlighten' me? I'm new to buddhism,i'm exploring it further to see if i agree with it. thankyou for reading :) x

[Electa214]

@bellaavani it's because the monks are humans trying to replicate the sound of AUM

Thank you

[ButterflyMumma]

Ia the horn supposed to warn off evil spirits ? I think i've seen a documentary about this blow horn , and how it's used in certain tribal rituals to warn off evil spirits.

[Greatsprit1]

Om Peace Peace Peace

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.

[extremeotaku19]

Sounds a little desolate to Western ears, but so does heavy metal sometimes.

[yesh05]

@Wiligot

Of the skeleton lords!! hahahaha omg u made me laugh so hard!!

[LanakilaIesu]

Like a lot of people who've commented, I find this a little scary...but I've added it to my favorites list and seem to want to listen to it at least a couple of times a week. I've found I also get a little scared listening to people chanting the Heart Sutra or Bodhisattva Vows...I wonder what it is that does it to me. In time I imagine I'll learn to relax with it...I'm curious though...does anyone have any background info on this music?

[desertshield]

Foreign as music can be. But great; i´m addicted to it.

[trapulone]

Fantastic music, P. P. Pasolini use it in 'Medea'

[thaibuddhaamulet]

This is very nice piece of music. It is a blessing to listen it.

[calisway]

Listening to this psychedelic music makes me certain that hallucinogenic plants played absolutely no role in the development of ancient religion whatsoever. No No. Ignore the tranced out rhythms. No correlation I tell ya.

[Ganeschar]

????????????

[bellaavani]

This low-tone horn does sound a little menacing. We're probably just not used to such sounds in the western culture. But it grows on me the more I listen to it. It's very powerful... tickles the back of my brain and cuts off all the thinking. Thank you for posting!

[Quocviet1]

i'm kinda scared but it's cool

[Wiligot]

Is this the dance of the Skelleton Lords?

[Astrill1]

It is wonderful to hear this as it always reminds me of my first real exposure to Buddhism a year and a half ago. Great memories and ever since Buddhism has a special and important place in my heart.

[morrink]

this is why I love tibetian buddhism.

[Tanja186]

it sounds pretty scary.. like some kind of "silent hill" music or to a other horror game.. or movie..

[Jugglesama]

It actually isn't. Listen closer, you're not listening to it.

[Nubreeder]

I so Lol'd at your comment... it may sound like that but it isn't x)

[phsouzaalves]

It reflects lways what you have inside, the only enemy, or terror is inside you!

[Tanisha1994]
