Book: Dhammapada. The Path Of The Buddha

For me music and meditation are two sides of the same phenomenon. Without music, meditation lacks something; without music, meditation becomes dull, lifeless. Without meditation music is simply noise - harmonious, but noise. Without meditation, music is entertainment. Without music, meditation becomes more and more negative, it becomes the aspiration to death. Therefore, I insist that music and meditation should go side by side. This gives a new dimension to both of them. They both enriched each other.
