Last year Brother Phap Liu gave me the words to the morning and evening chants in Spanish, and requested that I try to compose music for them. This is the music I wrote for the morning chant. The lyrics and sheet music for the melody are below.
Singing with me in this video are two practitioners I had the pleasure of meeting and making music with this winter at Deer Park Monastery. A big thank you to Albert and Eric for making this video possible! We are singing in the Ocean of Peace Dharma Hall at Deer Park.
