Ever meditate and then fall unconscious or asleep from the energy that you are releasing? (GONG!) Ever get hypnotized by the media, a thought, another person, a potential future and neglect what was really happening at the moment? (GONG!) While we imagine Buddha as the serene meditator beneath the Bodhi Tree, he was working to become more conscious, not less conscious. (GONG!) Teachers at Zen Buddhist Monastaries are not afraid to smack their novices on the head to wake them up. (GONG!) But as your dharma did not lead you to join a Buddhist retreat, you do need to remember to wake up the little buddha inside you! We are have buddhas inside, waiting to be woken. And this is the GONG to do it. And enjoy this song by the Everly Bodhisattvas! Wake up, little Buddha, wake up! Wake up, little Buddha, wake up! We've been fooled by Maya Wake up, little Buddha and cry-a Fell asleep, and on the wheel of life We're a flat karma tire Wake up little Buddha! Wake up little Buddha! What are we gonna tell Maitreya? What are we gonna tell Siddharta? Hear this Buddha Gong Yes the mallet comes out of the Buddha's hand and you can strike the gong.
