Personal Connection~Harshal

The Buddha is a big part of my religion, Hinduism. I am proud to be creating a tribute for someone i respect and for someone who i know gave up a lot for his people. The most important thing that I want to get across in my song/spoken word is what Buddha gave up and how the Dalai Lama comes every generation to watch over his people and his followers and sheild them from the violence and suffering of the world. I have had many experiences which would connect me with the Buddha, first when i went to India i went to a museum which had his whole story spread out and i have also watched an iMax movie called Mystic India which shows a young man going through the journey for enlightenment just like the Buddha did. I hope that through my lyrics people can understand the true meaning of what the Buddha and the Dalai Lama do for the community and their people.

Questions for the audience:

1. What did the Buddha give up royalty and fortune for?

2. Would you do the same?

3. What is greater to you royalty and riches or peace and happiness?

Just think about what the Buddha gave up you will know how he shows his resilience.
