“Here in the bamboo garden. Kuan Yin is very illuminated. Her garment is so bright, so filled with light. She’s holding a musical instrument. I think it is a lute. Completely focused upon tuning this instrument—trying to get the sound just right, She does not speak. Eventually She says, “Once this instrument is correctly tuned and kept tuned any amount of chaos won’t matter, won’t influence it. This, of course, is Kuan Yin’s metaphor for keeping the body chakras well-tuned. This teaching is a continuation of Her message concerning the effects of sound and vibrations upon physicality. She is also saying that the power of sound (and pulse) is why music is so calming and comforting.”
