About This Track

"The Three Jewels" is a track by Laurie Anderson, from the album Songs from the Bardo, released 27th September 2019. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

The Three Jewels

The luminosity of the moment before death shown. But you did not recognize it. And so, you had to wander here

You  are not alone in leaving this world. It happens to everyone

So  do not feel desire and yearning for this life. Even if you feel desire and yearning, you cannot stay. You can only wander in Samsara. Do not desire, do not yearn. Remember the three jewels

The Buddha

The Dharma

And  the Sangha
