According to Buddha
You don’t need any methods to get rid of the wrong ideas you have about yourself. All you have to do is stop believing them. The best way to do this is to replace them with ideas that more accurately reflect the real state of affairs.
entre la nuit, la nuit et l’aurore.
entre les voyants, les vivants et les morts.
if this is heaven
i need something more
i thought, i found a way to enter
it’s just a reflektor (it’s just a reflektor)
i thought, i found the connector
it’s just a reflektor (it’s just a reflektor)

According to Buddha
I believe a time will come when in greater understanding we shall have no boundaries anymore. We shall call the earth our country; and we shall, by a process of justice and international assembly, distribute unselfishly the goods of the world according to the needs of the people. But equality cannot be established by force; it must come from the heart…
change for change sake
rearrange the landscape
shape your identity
change the world
otherwise you’re gonna witness
look on powerless
when the future generations turn
and wipe out history
and while we’re on the subject
of man’s destiny
i want you to give your change to me

According to Buddha
When your consciousness withdraws still more deeply, into superconsciousness, then you are centered in bliss, in the spine. In that bliss-state you are aware in the causal body, the soul.
the lights and the music
the smell and the taste
the devil is downtown
it’s a hell of a place
and if you’re searching
if your looking for a change
go where you can see the stars
and they don’t seem so far away

According to Buddha
The week should be allotted to work, amusement, and spiritual couture; five days for money-making, one day for rest and amusement and at least one day for introspection and inner realization.
all work and no play
makes jack a dull chap
when it comes to the crunch
it s too much i’ve got to stop
no pain and no gain it s driving me insane

The Financial District, Toronto, ~ June 2017
According to Buddha
There can be no images of light without contrasting shadows. Unless evil had been created, man would not know the opposite, good. Night brings out the bright contrast of day; sorrow teaches us the desirability of joy.
and all the streets, they reek of tropical charms
the embassies lie in hideous shards
where tourists snore and decay
when they dance in a reptile blaze
you wear a mask, an equatorial haze
into the past, a colonial maze

According to Buddha
Having lots of money while not having inner peace is like dying of thirst while bathing in the ocean.
so maybe i’ll see you there
we can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
so go downtown, things’ll be great when you’re
downtown, don’t wait a minute for
downtown, everything’s waiting for you
downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown
downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown

According to Buddha
The balanced rhythm of the universe is rooted in reciprocity.
to stare at the sky
i am wide open
reaching forever
i fly into the blue
i am wide open
reaching forever
i fly into the blue
flat mark
high tide
frantic to stay afloat
stay calm
let in some air i dare lie down
to stare at the sky
i am wide open
reaching forever
i fly into the blue

According to Buddha
If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.
got my hands on the wheel
got my foot on the pedal
gonna drive ’til i drop
’til the tires turn to metal
gonna sleep when i’m dead
gonna laugh like the devil
gonna find some place where no one knows me
