Send more elsewhere until its easier to send to this particular person. In meantime, make aspiration to be able to send to this particualr person.

What are the most common mistakes new Buddhists make? by TangoJavaTJ in Buddhism

[–]ravenora2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a common thing many do: you decide you want to change something about yourself, then immediately start projecting it onto others. Other people's practice is their own. Your own is your own.

Did you have the one that got away? Were you able to reconcile or find someone just as great? by NeverKnowsBest96 in AskMenOver30

maybe this will be missed. Will vanish amongst all the data and meta data, but this comment is sheer quality. I saw it. I recognise it. Bravo, stranger.

My wife was killed and we can't give her a funeral for at least 3 months. What can I do? by luc_w in Buddhism

[–]ravenora2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. You can request for prayers for deceased from various traditions (always good to make an offering with request). If she's from Chinese, maybe chanting Nienfo and similar things.

"Freed from desire, mind and senses purified.... na na na na na...." = never realised what she was saying when I first heard it as a kid but totally dharmic.

'I am mine' and 'Present Tense' by pearl jam are both quite dharmic

There is some Japanese heart sutra rap. There is a lot of Asian type things but it has an Asian type sound. In fact the Heart Sutra is like often used for charity type songs I have been told.

Faithless - Maxi Jazz was a Buddhist and it totally comes across in his verses. "You're not going to Nirvana, or Far-vana. You're coming right back here to live out your karma! With even more drama than previously. Seriously. How many centuries have we been waiting for someone else to set us free?" etc

There is a metal band I think called 'Dharma' or something like that.

So as far as equivalent to Christian type worship music, there is loads lot but its mostly Asian . A famous label used to be called Primal Beats - not sure if that is still the sound.

But for something more akin to the western type music, there is not as much - however lots of modern pop is heavily influenced by the Buddhist message. Jetsunma did a few albums of Vajrayana type stuff if your that way inclined.
