This significant traditional festival, celebrated throughout Indonesia, is known as Waisak Day. At Borobudur, thousands of Buddhist monks gather to chant scriptures, meditate, circumambulate the temple, and perform a ceremony called "Pradaksina," a gesture of respect to the temple. The monks also bottle holy water (symbolizing humility) and pass flames (symbolizing light and enlightenment) from one place to another to celebrate this special day. They also participate in the "Pindapata" ceremony, receiving alms from the Indonesian people. Waisak Day has been a national public holiday in Indonesia since 1983.

As thousands of lanterns begin to twinkle, the darkness of the night gradually dissipates, replaced by a warm, golden glow. Each lantern rising into the sky seems to carry away the burdens in people's hearts, raising hope high towards the horizon, bringing peace and tranquility. At that moment, time seems to stand still; only the rhythm of breathing, the grandeur of the stupa, and countless rising prayers intertwine to create a harmonious symphony.

Want to listen to my Himalayan singing bowls to accompany your yoga or meditation practice at home? Click here to listen to my bowl and nature recordings on this relaxing Spotify playlist. Or... Click here to listen to my bowl and nature recordings on this relaxing YouTube playlist. I work with a wide range handmade Himalayan singing bowls, including antique and vintage bowls, ranging in fundamental pitch from the low 2nd octave to the 6th octave. The YouTube videos below give you an idea of the sounds of some of my Himalayan singing bowls. 'Mind', from my album Sound Bath: Seven Jambati Himalayan Singing Bowls , features the sound of some of my 3rd octave bowls that I use in my sound bath entrainment. During the sound bath these Jambati bowls are placed around the room and I strike each one in turn, resulting in a pulsing entrainment, ideal for altering states of consciousness. 'Contemplating Dhyana' features the sounds of three of my 4th octave bowls (two Dolpo tantric bowls and one Thadobati bowl), all of which I use in my sound baths. This composition has been broadcast on BBC Radio 3 Unwind's 'The Sleeping Forecast' . 'Deep Rest' from my 6-track EP 'Singing Bowls for Holding Space' features the sounds of some of my deep modern bowls that feature in my sound baths.
