Beating the Buddha's Deathless Drum

Beating the Buddha's Deathless Drum

The Buddha’s insight was so profound that words alone can’t express it, and we need images and symbols in multiple colours to evoke it.


This week I’ll be developing the theme a little further…


Not only can the profound insight of the Buddha be hinted at through visual images, it can also be expressed through sound.


The sound of the Buddha.


He spoke of it as the beat of his ‘Deathless Drum’.


What on earth could that mean!? Or a better question, what would that sound like?!


And in exploring the sound of the Buddha and his Deathless Drum, we also have to ask ourselves another vital question…


How should we listen to it?


We all know there are many ways to listen to music, and some are much more effective than others!


You don’t want to be listening to the Deathless through crap headphones, so how do we develop a capacity to listen to the Buddha that’s like a sweet sound system with a deep and stable bass?

Talk given by Padmasagara.
