Sujata Stupa: located directly across the street from the Sakya Sujata Children Primary School
Sujata Stupa: A Buddhist structure built over 2,000 years ago to honor Sujata, a village woman who offered Siddhartha Gautama a bowl of milk-rice pudding to end his six years of extreme fasting.
This meal restored the Buddha's physical strength and inspired his realization of the "Middle Way," the balanced path between severe self-denial and worldly indulgence that led to his enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree.

my 1st Day in Bodh Gaya, Chune offered to take me on his motorbike to the Cave where the Buddha once sat for 6 years and 27 days without eating any food. I asked him how much it would cost and he simply said:
"There is no price, if you want to go, I will take you, and after, you can give me what you want."
After visiting the Mahakala Cave, he took me to The Sakya Sujata Children Primary School and told me about how when he was a young child, this school and travelers who came and visited

Lyrics to Interpret and Playlists
Here Are Some Notable Lyrics From Many Great Musicians That I Hope To Meet One Day.
To See the Complete Lyrics, visit My Substack Page or Listen to The Lifeism Playlist on Spotify
"Christmas Song"
She was his girl, he was her boyfriend
Soon to be his wife, take him as her husband
A surprise on the way, any day, any day
One healthy little giggling, dribbling baby boy
The Wise Men came, three made their way
To shower him with love
While he lay in the hay
Shower him with love, love, love
Love love, love….Love, love was all around
Not very much of his childhood was known
Kept his mother Mary worried
Always out on his own
He met another Mary who for a reasonable fee
Less than reputable as known to be
His heart was full of love, love, love
Love, love, love…Love, love was all around
When Jesus Christ was nailed to the his tree
Said "Oh, Daddy-o, I can see how it all soon will be
I came to shed a little light on this darkening scene
Instead I fear I spill the blood of our children all around."
The blood of our children all around (x2)
So the story goes, so I'm told
The people he knew were
Less than golden-hearted
Gamblers and robbers
Drinkers and jokers
All soul searchers
Like you and me… Like you and me
Rumors insisted he soon would be
For his deviations taken into custody
By the authorities, less informed than he
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Searching for love, love, love
Love, love, love… Love, love was all around
Preparations were made
For his celebration day
He said, "Eat this bread, think of it as me
Drink this wine and dream it will be
The blood of our children all around (x3)
Father up above
Why in all this anger do you fill me up with love, love, love?
Love, love, love… Love, love was all around
Father up above
Why in all this hatred do you fill me up with love?
Fill me love, love, yeah
Love, love, love… Love, love, and the blood of our children all around
- The Dave Matthews Band (1994)
"Lie in Our Graves"
When I step into the light / My arms are open wide / I can't believe that we would Lie in our graves Wondering if we had Spent our living days well I can't
Lyrics
When I step into the light
My arms are open wide
When I step into the light
My eyes searching wildly
Would you not like to be
Sitting on top of the world with your legs hanging free
Would you not like to be okay, okay, okay?
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you taking a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Come up through my toes, to my ankles
To my head, to my soul, I'm blown away
I'm blown away
I'm blown away
I'm blown away, yeah, oh, no, no, no, oh, no, no, no, did I
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you taking a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Come up through my toes, to my ankles
To my head, to my soul, I'm blown away
I'm blown away
I am blown away
I'm blown away, yeah
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves
Wondering if we have spent our remaining days
Well, I can't believe that would lie in our graves
Dreaming of things that we might have been, could've been, baby
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves
Wondering if we have spent our remaining days
Well, I can't believe that would lie in our graves
Dreaming of things that we might have been, could've been, baby
Would you not like to be
Would you not like to be
I can't believe that you would not like to be
Would you not like to be okay, okay, okay?
Okay, okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay
Thank you very much, Tim Reynolds
Thank you so much, what a great night we've had with you
Thank you so much
- The Dave Matthews Band (1996)
"You Might Die Trying"
To change the world
It starts with one step
However small
First step is hardest of all
Once you get to your gate
You will walk in tall
You said you never did
'Cause you might die trying (x2)
'Cause you
If you close your eyes
'Cause the house is on fire
And think you couldn't move
Until the fire dies
The things you never did
'Cause you might die trying (x2)
We'll be as good as dead
'Cause you might die trying (x2)
If you give you begin to live (x2)
You begin
You get the world
If you give, you begin to live
You get the world, you get the world
If you give, you being to live
But you might die trying
Oh, you might die trying
You might die trying
The things you never did
— The Dave Matthews Tribute Band (2005)
"You Never Know"
Sitting still as stone watching
Watching
People walking by and
wondering why
No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it
they ever did
What if God shuffled by?
One day we might see
Doing not a thing
Breathing just to breathe
We might find some reason
But rushing around seems what's wrong with the world
Don't lose the dreams inside your head
They'll only be there til you're dead
Dream
— The Dave Matthews Tribute Band (2002)
"Dave, if you ever read this, thank you for all of your inspiring words of wisdom and all of your amazing live performances. I saw you at JPJ in November, 2023 and at Jiffy Lube this past June, 2026, just days before I flew to India and this next part of my journey began.
Carter Beauford is also one of the best drummers to have ever lived. I am also a big fan of John Dearth and Robert Jospé, another phenomenal drummer. I would love to get to meet you too one day!" - DWDW
"Typical Situation"
Ten fingers we have each
Nine planets around the sun repeat
Eight ball is the last if you triumphant be
Seven oceans pummel the shores of the sea
…
Six senses feeling
Five around a sense of self
Four season turn on and turn off
I can see
Three corners from this corner
Two is a perfect number
But one
Everybody's happy
Everybody's free
We'll keep the big door open
And everyone'll come around
Why are you different
Why are you that way
If you don't step in line
We'll lock you away
It's a typical situation
In these typical times
We can't do thing about it
…
It all comes down to nothing (x3)
— The Dave Matthews Tribute Band (1993)
"Unwritten"
I am unwritten
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
— Natasha Bedingfield (2004)
"One Plus One is One"
Back to being who I was before
Opened all the doors you try to close
And how did that make me feel
I cracked the ceiling, I stared at it too long
Tried to right the wrongs reverse the flow
Now everybody's waiting outside
Trying to feel what's going on inside
Tried to turn the tide and we failed
As the past meets the future it gets clearer that it all boils down to love
And please give me some peace
Please give me some peace
Why can't you see that one plus one is one
Much greater then the sum of the past
And nobodys waiting outside
…
Give me some peace
Please give me some peace
— Badly Drawn Boy (2012)
"Bodhisattva Vow"
As I develop the awakening mind
I praise the Buddhas as they shine
I bow before you as I travel my path
To join your ranks, I make my full-time task
For the sake of all beings I seek
The enlightened mind that I know I'll reap
Respect to Shantideva and all the others
Who brought down the Dharma for the sisters and brothers
I give thanks for this world as a place to learn
And for this human body that I know I've earned
And my deepest thanks to all sentient beings
For without them, there would be no place to learn what I'm seeing
There's nothing here that's not been said before
But I put it down now so that I'll be sure
To solidify my own views
And I'll be glad if it helps anyone else out too
— Beastie Boys (1994)
"Redemption Song"
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs (x3)
— Bob Marley and the Wailers (1980)
"Salute Your Solution" / "You Don't Understand Me" / "Old Enough"
You don't understand me
But if the feeling was right you might
Comprehend me.
And why do you feel the need to tease me?
Why don't you turn it around,
It might be easier to please me.
And there's always another point of view,
A better way to do the things we do.
And how can you know me and I know you
If nothing is true?
— The Raconteurs (2008)
"Express Yourself"
I'm expressing with my full capabilities
And now I'm living in correctional facilities
'Cause some don't agree with how I do this
I get straight and meditate like a Buddhist
I'm dropping flavor, my behavior is hereditary
But my technique is very necessary
— N.W.A. (1988)
"Life We Live"
Gotta take the good with the bad, smile with the sad
Love what you got and remember what you had
Messin' with the ones who helped me in the times
When I was flat broke didn't even have a dime
My family they was there, my niggas they was there
The rest of y'all left me for dead, didn't care
— Project Pat feat. Edgar Fletcher & Namond Lumpkin (2001)
