The music of the Great Dharani plays in the ether.
As I breathe like a sine wave, the song becomes an essence.
The celestial singers sing a perfect fifth.
Over and over it sings.
Then it changes, to go down through the circle of fifths.
Vocalizing every conceivable note.
Then I come out of my meditation.
The music still plays in the air.
The Great Dharani is the chanted version of the mantra from the Heart Sutra of Buddhism, which is credited to the Bodhisattva Of Great Compassion.
