My Buddhist Songs

Bodhi-Bowl began as an experiment and is still evolving.

What happens when ancient Buddhist wisdom meets the pulse of pop music?

This space explores how the Dharma speaks to the noise of modern life—deadlines, systemic injustice, ego, burnout, and loneliness. It’s about finding the quiet courage to keep going. We strip away abstract, scholarly language to make these teachings feel immediate, lived, and deeply human.

Created in collaboration with AI, the music explores these ancient truths from an everyday, “man on the street” perspective. At its heart, Bodhi-Bowl is about raw human emotion—fear, longing, grief, hope, and resilience—illuminated by gentle glimpses of Buddhist wisdom. Much like the traditional alms-bowl of the Sangha, this project aims to accept everything offered to it: a humble, all-embracing container for the entire human experience.

If the songs resonate with you, listening on Spotify and saving them makes a real difference.
