A fellow Buddhist called Sherab Sengge (also known as Peter Campbell-Kelly), practicing in a Tibetan tradition, offers this video of himself playing a sublime piece of music on solo violin. He describes it as “a musical prayer to the Buddhas for the well-being of all, in this desperately difficult pandemic...“.
To go with the performance he also wrote the following poem:
#Passacaglia
Our songs of sadness touch
The dry-deep scars of earth
And on this peaty path
a lichened branch
Cuts clean through the heart
And people lie dying
And people die weeping
And the waters ripple slow
And the sun lasts down and down
And the curlew throws free
Her liturgy of fiery love
A musical prayer to the Buddhas
