One of my favorite musicians Matt Johnson from The The (don’t you love the name!) embeds the lyrics with Buddhist view.

Uhh, it’s going to be long…

By examining the http://www.jonimitchell.com one can discover that her teacher was tulku Chögyam Trungpa. It’s not a surprise, if you read the lyrics of ‘Borderline’, for example.

Might need still more proof, but also Annie Lennox is said to be buddhist.
Some more I’ve found:
-Eliane Radigue (minimalist composer)
- Pekka Airaksinen (experimental composer, also ‘the Sperm’)
-Laurie Anderson
-Mick Jagger
-Suzanne Vega
-Phoebe Snow
-Sting
-Seal
-Courtney Love (Just read the text she’s written on the booklet of ‘Nobody’s daughter’)
-Meshell Ndegeocello
-Mylene Farmer (maybe)
-Boris Grebenshtshikov (at least partly)
-Avril Lavigne (maybe)
-Paul Simon (interested)
- Dan Reed
- Sonny Rollins
-Andy Bell
-members of ‘Joydrop’

keep up the good work!

nndb have obviously done their research and outed those pesky closet Buddhists. Who would have thought: Richard Gere? Dalai Lama? Buddha? More interestingly, Herbert von Karajan, my earliest favourite conductor (his 7th woke me to Beethoven). No surprises from the Mystic East (Jackie Chan, Mr Honda, King of Thailand, etc., etc.) Or Hollywood.

Good for them all!

groundlessness …closer to realization than any other time

Yes, thank you for this clarity. Paradox seems almost too simplistic a word to describe the relationship between groundlessness and realization. The former being “everything we know to be true” in an unsettled state, and the latter being really knowing with its attendant sense of stability.

I hope you will write more in this.

Hi Nene!

I’m glad you enjoyed the list. I love classical music, but I haven’t really found any information on Buddhist classical musicians but I’m sure they’re out there. I’ll have to research a little bit and if anyone else out there has this information, just let me know and I’ll add it to the list.

If you want to link this in facebook or anywhere else, you should just be able to copy the address from the browser address bar, or feel free to copy and past the info if you want.

Thanx!
