"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! :)"

"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!"
Dhammapada

"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."
