3.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS NOT THE JOHN MAYER YOU THINK IT IS, September 19, 2006

By	Peter "pmod" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

Uh, I bought this album thinking it was some clever Buddhist thing from /the/ John Mayer that we know and love.

It isn't.

Just so you know! :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Response to above, February 24, 2007

By	S. Kreltszheim "Shandy" (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yes, there is a difference between the JM of this album and the crooning, Heavier Strings-creating JM, and yes it should be obvious if you do some further reseach, but it doesn't help that it's sold in a package with Continuum. Just be aware - or have a listen to the tracks first!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dhammapada, December 14, 2007

By	Duri Naimji (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The music download 'Dhammapada' is very beautiful. It seems to match very well with the Buddhist teachings of the "Dhammapada."
The pieces or tracks that I particularly like are the Sannysins 1, 2 and 3.
They start relatively softly with the bell clearly audible but somewhat confused. Sannyasin 2 is more clear, confident and happy, followed by Sannyasin 3,almost a crescendo with the lively drum, bell and everything in harmony, as in a state of nirvana - the possible experience of a Sannyasin.
