Songs about The Buddha
Lord Buddha was a great spiritual Master who underwent the arduous path to self enlightenment and under the Bodhi Tree experienced the bliss of nirvana. After attaining his own realisation the Buddha stayed on earth travelling all over India spreading his teachings of Buddhism. His teachings and life inspired the formation and development of Buddhism and its many branches.
Sri Chinmoy has long held The Buddha in the highest regard. As Sri Chinmoy has stated:
"The Buddha appeared on earth to dispel by the illumination of knowledge the ignorance that had enveloped the human mass, to release the human soul from the prison-cell of desire into the wideness of the silence and peace of Nirvana."
Excerpt from Mother India's Lighthouse by Sri Chinmoy.

Talk on Buddhism
by Sri Chinmoy
Sri Chinmoy: Buddhists may not believe in the soul but they do believe in light. Lord Buddha spoke about inner light. For us, that light is the soul. The soul embodies illumination. So what they call light, we call the soul. It is like the sun and its flames. We use the word 'sun' and they use the word 'flames'. The flames come from the sun and, again the sun comes from the flames. The two are inseparable. I will call a flower 'phul,' and you will call it 'flower.' When I say 'phul' I will get one kind of feeling; and when you say 'flower', you will get another kind of feeling. But the flower remains the same.
It is the same thing with God. When we speak about God, we are referring to the Highest. He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. The Buddhists use the term 'Nirvana.' Lord Buddha attained the state of Nirvana, which is the highest form of bliss. Perhaps only one person out of a minion or a billion will know what Nirvana is. But everybody knows what silence is. So when Lord Buddha speaks about Nirvana, let us think only of silence. This silence that the Buddhists speak of is nothing other than God, for inside silence we see the whole creation. Inside God also we see the whole creation.
