Songbook
Songs and chants from the Plum Village tradition, with the words and a recording of each, for singing together — in the room, or over a shared screen.
Singing as a Practice
It is beneficial to sing as part of our meditation practice. The music helps us remember the words of the guided meditation that have been incorporated into the song. Once a meditation is memorized it is much easier to put it into practice in a natural way, whether we are sitting or engaged in any activity.
Before beginning a Dharma talk or a Dharma discussion, singing a song can help create a calm and joyful atmosphere. While singing we practice the words that we are singing. If we sing the word “flower” we feel the freshness of the flower as we sing.
We can also use the singing or music of the song as an accompaniment to our breathing.
