::kd lang Comes Out Spiritually
The March issue of Shambhala Sun Magazine features Melvin McLeod's interview with kd lang about her Nyingma Buddhist practice with teacher, Lama Chodak Gyatso Nubpa , and her new album, Watershed:
"The idea of watershed has a great deal of pertinence to becoming a Buddhist and following the path. It seems to me that the flow of dharma - or the flow of one's own innate buddhanature - is like water. There are obstacles, but eventually the water will find its way around them.
"A
change of direction happens when you take refuge and become a
practitioner. For me, it's been about reassessing, reviewing and
reprioritizing everything in my life. It's been about revitalizing my
morality and my relationship to cause and effect, meaning what I do as
a person - with my body, speech and mind - and how it affects all other
beings. Each song is about my relationship to something, and it's also
about the cause and effect of each of those relationships."
