Mr. Altig’s Overview of the Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Sutra

Padmaprabha (Lotus Light) explores the profound teachings of the Lotus Sutra in his new track, “Visualizing the Depth of Wisdom.” This hip-hop offering delves into the power of understanding and the interconnectedness of all beings. 

(Verse 1)
Used to chase the paper, the bling, the fleeting fame
Now I’m seekin’ truth, whisperin’ the Buddha’s name
Twelve hundred qualities, intellect so refined
Openin’ up my heart, expandin’ my mind
Single verse resonate, meanings unfold
Stories of compassion, centuries old

(Chorus)
Lotus flower bloom, wisdom in my soul
Dharma’s in my veins, takin’ control
From Houston to the world, spreadin’ the light
Padmaprabha’s here, shinin’ so bright
No more shallow rhymes, just deep understanding
Universal truth, forever expanding
Ancient wisdom, modern day flow
Plant the seeds of peace, watch ’em grow

(Verse 2)
Used to be blind, caught in the rat race
Now I see the connections, every time and space
Six realms of being, from gods to the beast
Understandin’ their struggles, findin’ inner peace
Not just words I’m spittin’, it’s a way of life
Cuttin’ through the illusions, the pain, and the strife
Everyday sayings, mixed with sacred law
Elevatin’ consciousness, breakin’ down every flaw

(Chorus)
Lotus flower bloom, wisdom in my soul
Dharma’s in my veins, takin’ control
From Houston to the world, spreadin’ the light
Padmaprabha’s here, shinin’ so bright
No more shallow rhymes, just deep understanding
Universal truth, forever expanding
Ancient wisdom, modern day flow
Plant the seeds of peace, watch ’em grow

(Bridge)
Not yet an Arya, but I’m on the path
Studyin’ the scriptures, avoidin’ Buddha’s wrath
Reflectin’ on the teachings, day and night
Sharpening my mind, makin’ my spirit bright
Like the ancient masters, preachin’ with grace
Sharing the Dharma, in every time and place

(Verse 3)
Connections and knots, I unravel with ease
Contradictions in life, bring me no unease
Interpretations flow, like a gentle breeze
Ancient Sutras’ wisdom, sets my spirit free
From the streaming platforms to the written page
Sharing my gifts, across every stage
Eight books published, thousands of songs
My voice resonates, where it belongs

(Chorus)
Lotus flower bloom, wisdom in my soul
Dharma’s in my veins, takin’ control
From Houston to the world, spreadin’ the light
Padmaprabha’s here, shinin’ so bright
No more shallow rhymes, just deep understanding
Universal truth, forever expanding
Ancient wisdom, modern day flow
Plant the seeds of peace, watch ’em grow

(Outro)
Yeah, Padmaprabha, Lotus Light, that’s my name
Spreading love and wisdom, ain’t nothin’ the same
From the depths of the Sutra, to the hip-hop beat
Dropping truth bombs, for every soul to meet. Word.

(Reprise Outro)
Yeah, Padmaprabha, Lotus Light, that’s my name
Spreading love and wisdom, ain’t nothin’ the same
From the depths of the Sutra, to the hip-hop beat
Dropping truth bombs, for every soul to meet. 
Word.
