My Music 2 — "Beloved Kuan Yin"

The Divine Play of Life. Created via Midjourney for Lars Laursen.

🎶 The song "Beloved Kuan Yin" is number 424 in the songbook Book of Hymns and Songs by the spiritual organization Church Universal and Triumphant (also known as The Summit Lighthouse).

It forms part of the Chinese bodhisattva Kuan Yin’s Crystal Rosary. In Eastern spiritual tradition, Kuan Yin holds a sacred role as the intercessor of mercy—comparable to the role of the Virgin Mary in Christianity, offering intercession, healing, and the relieving of karma through the chanting of rosaries.

This is a song of deep significance to me. It "rings a bell" within—I feel its resonance. It stirs my soul and evokes something both ancient and new.

Sang 424: "Beloved Kuan Yin."

🕊️ Kuan Yin is known for her 36 sacred mantras, which, when recited with devotion, serve to elevate the spirit. They help accelerate the path to liberation, unlocking spiritual gifts and innate abilities.

The English lyrics sung in the video are as follows.

Beloved Kuan Yin

Beloved Kuan Yin, we welcome you
Beloved Goddess of Mercy
We wait thy coming, dear
Within the stillness of our hearts.

We call now to thee, ever to be
Protected by thy hand of mercy
While in thy presence here
Make us the purity thou art.

In the ancient time of Chin
A pagoda deep within
Jewels rare and shining there
Held each heart in splendor fair.

Lovely one of the Sun
Reestablish thine own
Lotus flower here this hour
In each heart unfold thy pow'r.

Lift to God, spread abroad
The magnificence of God
Wisdom flow, beauty grow
Pastel radiance aglow.

Chinese art, make us part
Of the cultureland thou art
Souls arise to the skies
As a jeweled symbol high.

The shimmering show'r
The oneness of heaven
Thy blessing and pow'r
To the world now is given.
Kuan Yin, Kuan Yin.

Through pathways so bright
From starlight descending
Flows heavenly light
And Mercy unending
Kuan Yin, Kuan Yin.
Beloved Kuan Yin.

Alleviating Human Suffering

Photo: Colourbox. Why do we work at all? Once I was at a job interview at the furniture sale Ikea. On that occasion, a young woman in a blue T-shirt interviewed me. "Why do you want to work at Ikea?"  she asked. "I've found that Ikea pays its employees more than other chain stores,"  I replied. She then said that  “Salary is a matter of course. What can you offer us that will make us an even better company?” I was not prepared for that question. Maslow's hierarchy of needs. It's a question that is only asked in societies where basic needs are being met. We have, so to speak, already moved up from a state where life is about mere personal or family survival, as it is known from Maslow's pyramid of needs. It gives reason to also consider how money is made in business. In certain parts of the business world, the black numbers on the bottom line are given an almost absolute importance.  The greater profit, the better – and that even when a person watchin...

Reward for Sacred Labour, Trustworthiness – and Let Everyone Keep Up

The German female theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder talks about the state of affairs within the scientific community and so-called "bad science" in a video on her YouTube-channel. Take a look. She even calls physicists and the way research is conducted today corrupt, nonsensical and without integrity. Let's take a look at it and see if there's a way to understand what's going on – and it may well be different from her frustrated point of view. My view on this question Sabine (and others) may be angry about the state of affairs within the physics community today. But there is another way to look at this. Do you know of anything else where the more effort you make, the result is the same?  This means that if 30 people over 30 years gain extraordinary new insights in a field, what will it not be like if 100,000 people work in the same field? Will discoveries happen 3,333 times faster or be 3,333 times more extensive? No, they might be a little more detailed...

Definitive Cure for Tobacco Addiction Found

"Ta-da! We've also quit tobacco and successfully stopped smoking with the help of TABAC!" Photo: Tatiana Vychegzhanina, Ukraine, on Colourbox. For hundreds of years – almost back to the discovery of America – tobacco has been used as a soothing remedy for nervousness, anxiety, and inner turmoil, allowing those afflicted to experience a moment of 15 minutes of tranquility – before they need to take another cigarette and repeat the treatment. For centuries, the tobacco industry has been the supplier of this short-term soothing product for this ailment. But alas, the remedy has never had a permanent effect. The patient has had to continuously consume this medicine to feel well once they started – it is a remedy that creates addiction without solving the real problem, as the patient have to continue taking this remedy hour after hour, day after day, year after year. Researchers within the tobacco industry have been aware of this for decades. In the long run, it becomes expens...
