As music director of the Milarepa Children’s Chorus<\/a>, I thought it was about time I shared a poem, a doha, by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche that my kids sing in the chorus. What is the Milarepa Children’s Chorus? Here is our mission statement: <\/p>\nThe Milarepa Children’s Chorus sings traditional songs of realization in English as taught to us by the great Tibetan yogi and scholar Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche. For years Khenpo Rinpoche has been teaching students throughout the world these sacred songs which were sung by the great Tibetan yogi Milarepa who lived and practiced in the caves of Tibet most of his life. Singing songs follows the doha tradition dating back to the Buddha himself who used songs to teach the path of awakening. The members of the chorus are Tibetan and Western children living in New York City. <\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe following video was taken during our rehearsal on October 16th, 2009 at the Nalandabodhi meditation center in New York City. The song is called All These Forms<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/object><\/p>\nRead on to see the words to this wonderful dharma song…All these forms–appearance-emptinessLike a rainbow with its shining glowIn the reaches of appearance-emptinessJust let go and go where no mind goes<\/p>\nEvery sound is sound and emptinessLike the sound of an echo’s rollIn the reaches of sound and emptinessJust let go and go where no mind goes<\/p>\nEvery feeling is bliss and emptinessWay beyond what words can showIn the reaches of bliss and emptinessJust let go and go where no mind goes<\/p>\nAll awareness–awareness-emptinessWay beyond what thoughts can knowIn the reaches of awareness-emptinessLet awareness go–oh, where no mind goes<\/p>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"by Paul Griffin As music director of the Milarepa Children’s Chorus, I thought it was about time I shared a poem, a doha, by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche that my kids sing in the chorus.

Read on to see the words to this wonderful dharma song…All these forms–appearance-emptinessLike a rainbow with its shining glowIn the reaches of appearance-emptinessJust let go and go where no mind goes<\/p>\n

All awareness–awareness-emptinessWay beyond what thoughts can knowIn the reaches of awareness-emptinessLet awareness go–oh, where no mind goes<\/p>\n
