CLASSIC COUNTRY & WESTERN SONGS ARE BUDDHIST

4/30/2018

 
I’ve always liked classic country & western music as it reflects the lives of ordinary people working hard to make sense of life’s changes and challenges. So many country and western songs resonate with Buddhist teachings. Here are some examples:

1. There’s a tear in my beer. - Buddhist teaching: life is suffering.
2. She got the gold mine; I got the shaft. - Buddhist teaching: impermanence.
3. All my exes live in Texas. - Buddhist teaching – third precept to abstain from sexual misconduct.
4. Sixteen tons and what do you get, another day older and deeper in debt – Buddhist teaching: right livelihood

5. Looking for love in all the wrong places – Buddhist teaching: right view

6. Chains, chains, shackles and chains – Buddhist teaching – the causes of suffering can be known and overcome
7. Folsom prison blues – Buddhist teaching: right conduct
8. I believe in you – Buddhist teaching: every being has Buddha nature and is a Buddhist in progress
9. Back in the saddle again – Buddhist teaching: when you fall, rise up and try again
10. I will always love you – Buddhist teaching: love is a path to enlightenment
