Buddha Nature

*Winner of the New Age Voice Music Award for Best Meditation/Healing Album!* Deuter's enchanting flute and soft rhythms blend layered melodies with water sounds, inviting us to a world where our own Buddha nature is revealed. Buddha Nature is ideal for meditation, massage, bodywork and relaxation. "One of my favorite Zen stories is the one about Tozan weighing flax: The Master Tozan was weighing some flax in the storeroom. A monk came up to him and asked: "What is Buddha?" Tozan said, "This flax weighs five pounds." This little but potent story, awakened me one day to a deeper understanding of Buddha nature and a sudden seeing that everything I have always been searching for is already happening, right now, in this moment. It gave me a glimpse of the incredible mystery of life and our existence. Today, Tozan would probably not be weighing flax but maybe changing the oil in his motorbike, reading e-mail or playing the flute. And his answer would be different, according to the moment. Because it is the quality of being present in this very moment - that is Buddha nature. Not having one's mind travel into the past or future, but relaxing into what is, non-doing and learning to enjoy one's being." -C. G. Deuter
