This compilation will allow you to enjoy and experience the breathtaking World Premiere Concert of the piano suite spontaneously written and performed by the third Dharma Heir of Forshang Buddhism, Master Lee Sun-Don, at the culturally nestled Taipei National Concert Hall.
Never having received any conventional piano education, Master Lee created the music not through composing, nor on scores. Instead, the jingling, profound melodies flew spontaneously out of wisdom attained in his spiritual practice, with his deep remembrance of his beloved teacher, Yuan-Dao Bodhisattva, the second Patriarch of Forshang Buddhism, galloping freely under his fingers.
Through his melodic compositions, Master Lee shares and manifests his deep Zen wisdom to introduce the harmonization of the spiritual body and the universe, timelessly and unconfined by the boundaries of space. From this perspective, we as listeners gain an understanding and appreciation of the world in which we exist and live in. Thus, a calm satisfaction and peacefulness can begin to grow within our hearts. This satisfaction and peacefulness are believed to be the foundations of wisdom and compassion. Wisdom can lead us to find the origins of our deep souls, while compassion allows us to love the world and the people who are essential elements of it. With all these in place, our lives can be calm, happy, reassured, full of love & compassion, and become harmonized with the world.
When you listen to the songs of this disc, at any time and at any place, the melodies will provide your soul with unlimited enjoyment. Especially for those seeking the tranquility of meditation, Master Lees compilation will provide assistance in reaching such peace when accompanied softly during your personal routine.
The supplemental booklet also includes journal entries by Master Lee, taking us into his thoughts and his creative, spiritual, and artistic intentions.
Total playing time is approximately 38 minutes.
