Paramita, American Buddhist Folk Music

Heng Sure. Paramita: American Buddhist Folk Songs. Dharma Radio Music, 2007. Paramita means “crossing over.” When we move from here to there, from suffering to suffering's end, from confusion to awakening, it is paramita. One of the primary means of crossing over in the Buddhist world, from the earliest times, was music. This compilation includes fifteen folk songs written by Heng Sure, an American Buddhist monk, on topics both timeless and contemporary.
