I really like this topic, first because I am very curious and second because I think that tattoos say a lot about the personality and philosophy of the person who wears them. So, I find it interesting to discover the meanings of these symbols and to know a little more about our dear ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’ through them. Well, let's get started! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿง

๐‘ถ๐’Ž (เฅ) is the most sacred syllable in Hinduism as it is the ๐‘ท๐’“๐’Š๐’Ž๐’๐’“๐’…๐’Š๐’‚๐’ ๐‘บ๐’๐’–๐’๐’… ๐’๐’‡ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ผ๐’๐’Š๐’—๐’†๐’“๐’”๐’†. According to ancient texts before the beginning, ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’‚๐’‰๐’Ž๐’‚๐’ (๐’‚๐’ƒ๐’”๐’๐’๐’–๐’•๐’† ๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’๐’Š๐’•๐’š) was one and non-dual. He thought, "๐’๐’๐’† ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐‘ฐ ๐’‚๐’Ž , ๐’„๐’‚๐’ ๐‘ฐ ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’„๐’๐’Ž๐’† ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’๐’š?"

This caused a vibration, which became the sound of ๐‘ถ๐’Ž and creation occurred. And it is not only the sound of the origin but also of the end. The past (๐€), the present (๐”) and the future (๐Œ) are included in this one sound and even all of this transcends the configuration of time that is implicit in the ๐‘ถ๐’Ž. It is the sound from which all other sounds emerge, the sound of the movement of the stars in the firmament, the sound that commands energy, it is the source, the sustainer and the force, the essence of all that exists and the breath of life in every being. Meditation on the ๐‘ถ๐’Ž fulfills all needs and leads to ๐’Ž๐’๐’Œ๐’”๐’‰๐’‚ (๐’”๐’‘๐’Š๐’“๐’Š๐’•๐’–๐’‚๐’ ๐’๐’Š๐’ƒ๐’†๐’“๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’).

In the ๐‘ผ๐’‘๐’‚๐’๐’Š๐’”๐’‰๐’‚๐’…๐’” (๐‘ฏ๐’Š๐’๐’…๐’– holy books) it is said that everything that exists and what does not exist can be controlled by pronouncing this sacred syllable. Other parts of these ๐‘ผ๐’‘๐’‚๐’๐’Š๐’”๐’‰๐’‚๐’…๐’” associate various meanings to ๐‘ถ๐’Ž, for example, that it represents the "๐’–๐’๐’Š๐’—๐’†๐’“๐’”๐’† ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’š๐’๐’๐’… ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’”๐’–๐’", or something that is "๐’Ž๐’š๐’”๐’•๐’†๐’“๐’Š๐’๐’–๐’” ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’™๐’‰๐’‚๐’–๐’”๐’•๐’Š๐’ƒ๐’๐’†", "๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐’˜๐’‰๐’Š๐’„๐’‰ ๐’๐’๐’† ๐’Š๐’” ๐’๐’Š๐’ƒ๐’†๐’“๐’‚๐’•๐’†๐’…", "๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’Š๐’๐’‡๐’Š๐’๐’Š๐’•๐’† ๐’๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ๐’–๐’‚๐’ˆ๐’†" or "๐’Š๐’๐’‡๐’Š๐’๐’Š๐’•๐’† ๐’Œ๐’๐’๐’˜๐’๐’†๐’…๐’ˆ๐’†". ๐‘ถ๐’Ž is also the sound form of ๐’‚๐’•๐’Ž๐’‚๐’, the eternal soul of each individual and its correlation with god. ๐‘ถ๐’Ž is also the representation of ๐‘ป๐’“๐’Š๐’Ž๐’–๐’“๐’•๐’Š ('๐’•๐’‰๐’“๐’†๐’† ๐’‡๐’๐’“๐’Ž๐’”') of ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’‚๐’‰๐’Ž๐’‚, ๐‘ฝ๐’Š๐’”๐’‰๐’๐’– and ๐‘บ๐’‰๐’Š๐’—๐’‚, the 3 main stages of cosmic creation and the four states of the ๐‘บ๐’–๐’‘๐’“๐’†๐’Ž๐’† ๐‘ฉ๐’†๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ. The three sounds in ๐‘ถ๐’Ž (๐€๐”๐Œ) represent the states of wakefulness, sleep and deep sleep and the silence surrounding ๐‘ถ๐’Ž represents the "๐‘ป๐’–๐’“๐’Š๐’š๐’‚" state.

The eternal syllable ๐‘ถ๐’Ž is also called ๐’–๐’…๐’ˆ๐’Š̄๐’•๐’‰๐’‚́ ('๐’๐’๐’–๐’… ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ') or the ๐’‘๐’“๐’‚แน‡๐’‚๐’—๐’‚ ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’๐’•๐’“๐’‚ ('๐’—๐’Š๐’ƒ๐’“๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‘๐’“๐’‚๐’š๐’†๐’“', since ๐’‘๐’“๐’‚แน‡๐’‚๐’–๐’•๐’Š or ๐’‘๐’“๐’‚แน‡๐’– means '๐’•๐’ ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’Œ๐’† ๐’‚ ๐’—๐’Š๐’ƒ๐’“๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’“๐’–๐’Ž๐’ƒ๐’๐’†').

Early forms of ๐‘ฉ๐’–๐’…๐’…๐’‰๐’Š๐’”๐’Ž did not have much to do with this symbol, but over time this changed, especially in ๐‘ป๐’Š๐’ƒ๐’†๐’•๐’‚๐’ ๐‘ฉ๐’–๐’…๐’…๐’‰๐’Š๐’”๐’Ž, which was heavily influenced by ๐‘ฏ๐’Š๐’๐’…๐’–๐’Š๐’”๐’Ž.

It is a way to stop feeling anything, to deceive my lack of confidence, the hate of myself... And also part company with a chronic depression that follows me since adolescence. Because if I could speak through songs, I was unable to do it everyday ... But I had to finally kill this character, to face it. It took place shortly after the recording of Meds, which was a veritable orgy of drugs and abuse - this was the way we draped ourselves in the veil of denial, refusing to see that Placebo was not doing well ... I was totally addicted to drugs and alcohol, I went to a clinic to heal (silence) ... Four days after I left the hospital, I went on tour. In solidarity, Stefan has also stopped to drink, it was the first time we were touring sober, it was terrifying… It exacerbated my discomfort:

I was on stage, in front of dozens of people with my face on their T-shirt, who were screaming "I love you" while I hated myself. I wanted to shout to them : "You would not like me if you knew me …"

๐ŸŽค“It's not hypochondria, I just have to take medications to heal my depression. For a long time as a teenager, I lived with this pain that had no name. I was 25 years when a doctor finally diagnosed my depression. It was a relief to know that I was sick, that it was not something that I was inflicting on myself, that I had no control over my emotions, my permanent sadness. The only positive side is that I have sought to overcome the pain with creativity, hoping to find a form of therapy. One can not imagine how it is a relief to finally know you are sick, not crazy.”

The ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’Œ๐’“๐’‚๐’” are spinning wheels of energy that run along the spine from the coccyx to the top of the head.

The ๐’‡๐’Š๐’‡๐’•๐’‰ ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’Œ๐’“๐’‚ is the energetic center of expression of our true self, creativity, communication and inner voice.

Its symbol is a sixteen-petaled ๐’๐’๐’•๐’–๐’” ๐’‡๐’๐’๐’˜๐’†๐’“.

Inside the ๐’๐’๐’•๐’–๐’” is an inverted equilateral triangle with an inscribed circle. Often, the sixteen lotus petals are inscribed with the sixteen ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’๐’”๐’Œ๐’“๐’Š๐’• vowels: the vowels are presented because they compose the "๐’๐’‘๐’†๐’ ๐’”๐’‘๐’‚๐’„๐’†" of the words, just as ๐‘จ๐’Œ๐’‚๐’”๐’‰๐’‚ is the open space in the universe and in the center a blue space representing the ๐’•๐’‚๐’•๐’•๐’—๐’‚ (๐’†๐’”๐’”๐’†๐’๐’„๐’†) of the ether, its associated element, which according to ๐’š๐’๐’ˆ๐’Š๐’„ ๐’”๐’„๐’Š๐’†๐’๐’„๐’†, constitutes the communicating medium of the different levels of existence, i.e. the sound, as well as ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’—๐’๐’Š๐’„๐’† ๐’๐’‡ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’‚๐’ƒ๐’”๐’๐’๐’–๐’•๐’†.

Its name in ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’๐’”๐’Œ๐’“๐’Š๐’• is ๐‘ฝ๐’Š๐’”๐’‰๐’–๐’…๐’…๐’‰๐’‚ ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’Œ๐’“๐’‚ (เคตिเคถुเคฆ्เคง เคšเค•्). ๐‘บ๐’‰๐’–๐’…๐’…๐’‰๐’Š translates as "๐’‘๐’–๐’“๐’†", and ๐‘ฝ๐’Š reinforces the word; therefore, ๐‘ฝ๐’Š๐’”๐’‰๐’–๐’…๐’…๐’‰๐’‚ means "๐’†๐’”๐’‘๐’†๐’„๐’Š๐’‚๐’๐’๐’š ๐’‘๐’–๐’“๐’†",

for this reason this ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’Œ๐’“๐’‚ is also ๐’“๐’†๐’‘๐’“๐’†๐’”๐’†๐’๐’•๐’†๐’… ๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’”๐’Œ๐’š ๐’ƒ๐’๐’–๐’† ๐’๐’“ ๐’•๐’–๐’“๐’’๐’–๐’๐’Š๐’”๐’† ๐’ƒ๐’๐’–๐’†, as this color is associated with ๐’‘๐’–๐’“๐’Š๐’‡๐’Š๐’„๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ and also with honesty and trust which are fundamental for healthy communication which is precisely the goal of this ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’Œ๐’“๐’‚.

Being located at the base of the throat, it is the connection between the mind and the heart, between instinct and reason, between feeling and intuition. It is the entrance to the miraculous and mysterious, it is, in addition to the capacity of expression of the spoken word and the other forms of language we possess (corporal, symbolic, written, artistic), ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’•๐’“๐’–๐’•๐’‰ ๐’๐’‡ ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’˜๐’๐’“๐’….

For this very reason, ๐’„๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’—๐’Š๐’•๐’š belongs to the ๐’‡๐’Š๐’‡๐’•๐’‰ ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’Œ๐’“๐’‚, as it implies a form of elevated consciousness, where there is a momentary transcendence of the ego and where existence acts through us. ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐’Š๐’๐’”๐’‘๐’Š๐’“๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’Ž๐’๐’—๐’†๐’” ๐’–๐’” ๐’•๐’‰๐’“๐’๐’–๐’ˆ๐’‰ ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’‚๐’–๐’•๐’š, ๐’‡๐’Š๐’๐’๐’” ๐’–๐’” ๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐’๐’Š๐’‡๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’Ž๐’๐’—๐’†๐’” ๐’–๐’” ๐’•๐’ ๐’„๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’, new ideas and ventures, glimpses of different possibilities, the need to express our inner world, to live only in the present, are related to the awakening of this energy.


Symptoms of a blocked ๐’•๐’‰๐’“๐’๐’‚๐’• ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’Œ๐’“๐’‚ can negatively affect the health of the physical body and mental state.

anxiety about communicating or speaking, voice problems and artistic blocks.

✨You can do several things to help open and balance the ๐’‡๐’Š๐’‡๐’•๐’‰ ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’Œ๐’“๐’‚, here's a list:

๐Ÿ’ Chanting the ๐’ƒ๐’Š๐’‹๐’‚ ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’๐’•๐’“๐’‚ that corresponds to ๐‘ฝ๐’Š๐’”๐’‰๐’–๐’…๐’…๐’‰๐’‚ ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’Œ๐’“๐’‚ which is "๐‡๐€๐Œ".
๐Ÿ’  Doing some ๐’š๐’๐’ˆ๐’‚ postures, like ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’•๐’”๐’š๐’‚๐’”๐’‚๐’๐’‚, ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’Ž๐’ƒ๐’‚ ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’“๐’—๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ๐’‚๐’”๐’‚๐’๐’‚ and ๐‘ฏ๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’”๐’‚๐’๐’‚.
๐Ÿ’  Meditate by practicing ๐’‘๐’“๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’š๐’‚๐’Ž๐’‚ or ๐’„๐’๐’๐’”๐’„๐’Š๐’๐’–๐’” ๐’ƒ๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ, this is focusing attention on the breath.
๐Ÿ’  Say out loud, mentally or write positive phrases related to internal and external communication, for example: "๐‘ฐ ๐’”๐’‘๐’†๐’‚๐’Œ ๐’Ž๐’š ๐’•๐’“๐’–๐’•๐’‰", "๐‘ฐ ๐’๐’Š๐’”๐’•๐’†๐’ ๐’•๐’ ๐’Ž๐’š ๐’๐’˜๐’ ๐’Š๐’๐’๐’†๐’“ ๐’Œ๐’๐’๐’˜๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ",

"๐‘ฐ ๐’…๐’ ๐’๐’ ๐’‰๐’‚๐’“๐’Ž ๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐’Ž๐’š ๐’˜๐’๐’“๐’…๐’”", "๐‘ฐ ๐’•๐’“๐’–๐’”๐’• ๐’Ž๐’š ๐’„๐’๐’๐’—๐’Š๐’„๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’‚๐’„๐’• ๐’‚๐’„๐’„๐’๐’“๐’…๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’•๐’ ๐’Ž๐’š ๐’•๐’“๐’–๐’•๐’‰", etc.

๐Ÿ’  Singing and humming are also effective practices for stimulating and toning the vagus nerve, which is an essential key to balancing the nervous system. As well as listening to soothing music or live instruments, such as a Himalayan singing bowl, gong, flute, hand drums or bells.
๐Ÿ’  Incorporating the color blue into your life, journaling, neck stretches, all of these things can help you heal and keep the ๐’‡๐’Š๐’‡๐’•๐’‰ ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’Œ๐’“๐’‚ balanced.

The benefits of activating the ๐‘ฝ๐’Š๐’”๐’‰๐’–๐’…๐’…๐’‰๐’‚ ๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’Œ๐’“๐’‚ are multiple. It helps us to master the word, to communicate and listen better to others while helping us to have a connection with our physical and spiritual being, to listen to our inner voice, which consequently leads us to have a greater clarity of what is our path and duty in life (๐’…๐’‰๐’‚๐’“๐’Ž๐’‚) and makes us more aware of ourselves. It helps us to love and accept ourselves as we are expressing our true essence. ๐Ÿ’™✨

Dear soulmates,
Today I’d like to talk to you about Brian’s deep interest in Eastern philosophy, generally, and Buddhism, in particular. Last Tuesday, I started the topic a little bit with Brian’s amazing version of the Beatles’ song ๐€๐œ๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐”๐ง๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž that has some Buddhist reference in it. Now, I collected a couple of quotes to illustrate his way to accepting this kind of a world view from previously being raised as a born-again Christian by his mother.

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: ''When I was a kid I was raised a born-again Christian. […] my Mum … was the person who got me into Jesus.''

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: “I was raised a born-again Christian. I gave my life over to Jesus when I was 11; took it back when I was 14. But that stays with you for a long time.”
(๐‘…๐‘œ๐‘๐‘˜ ‘๐‘’ ๐‘…๐‘œ๐‘™๐‘™ ๐ด๐‘›๐‘–๐‘š๐‘Ž, “๐‘‡๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘Ž ๐‘‰๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘›”, ๐ด๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘™ 2001)

After a period of rebellion against his religious education, young Brian became more and more interested in spirituality and humanism rather that any kind of specific religion. However, Buddhist attitude to life, world and people got to be the most attractive and acceptable to him.
Brian took his first longer travel to India when he was on a pretty dark side in his life and desperately needed a cardinal change – just to survive… Staying there appeared to be very helpful for him.
๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: "I lived in India for four months at the end of our previous tour [Black Market Music tour]. [...] I have never seen people so kind and generous elsewhere than in Asia. The less you have and the more you give … What I like in Buddhism, in opposition to the Judeo-Christian religion, is that ... here, you are punished for your sins, while there, you are punished by your sins, it weighs on your karma. And it seems more realistic to me."
(๐‘ƒ๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘  ๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘ก๐‘โ„Ž, 2006)

It was exactly the time when ๐’๐จ๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐จ ๐’๐š๐ฒ ๐†๐จ๐จ๐๐›๐ฒ๐ž was written.
๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: "The theme of “Song to say goodbye” is keeping only the best aspects of your life. It's the first track I wrote in India. I went there for a lot of reasons, one of them being to try and change my lifestyle. I wanted to make me understand that I should not become a rock'n'roll clichรฉ and that the world doesn't need another dead rock star. I've written it as a letter to myself."
(๐‘…๐‘œ๐‘๐‘˜ ๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘”, ๐ด๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘™ 2006)

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง ๐Œ๐จ๐ฅ๐ค๐จ: I don’t like Western religion. I like Eastern religion very much.
๐‘ฐ๐’๐’•๐’†๐’“๐’†๐’”๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ. ๐‘จ๐’“๐’† ๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’“๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’š ๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’”๐’๐’๐’” ๐’‡๐’๐’“ ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’•?
๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง ๐Œ๐จ๐ฅ๐ค๐จ: I’m very attracted to Buddhism because it’s not about some bearded guy in the sky telling you what to do; it’s about you. And I think if we stopped to actually understand the effects that we have on the world, then we would make the world a better place. Unfortunately, as people we’re all very emotional and our culture is very important in terms of what we choose to believe.
I think so many people have ghetto-ised religion and made it into something that is bad, but in fact it’s something that helps us all be better people and that’s what we want.

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: I’m interested in Buddhism because it is a philosophy of life rather than a religion. In Buddhism, there’s no god and that is a big part of the attraction for me. Right thoughts, right action. No god, no attachments - no worries.
(๐ต๐พ, ๐ด๐‘ข๐‘”๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘ก 22, 2013)

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: “In my personal life, Buddhism influenced me positively. In 2012, I went to Thailand where I talked to Buddhists. I don’t belong to those who necessarily perceive Buddhism as a religion. But this philosophy and the art of meditation that I learned helped me a lot.”

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: Meditation is very important. I try to do it every morning. Meditation has a calming effect on me and helps me to ground myself. On days I don't meditate I am much moodier and have less patience. It is something I discovered in Thailand in 2011.

Happily, spreading the word worked out! The military backed down on their plans of using the area. “๐‘ฐ ๐‘จ๐‘ด ๐‘ท๐‘ฌ๐‘น๐‘บ๐‘ถ๐‘ต๐‘จ๐‘ณ๐‘ณ๐’€ ๐‘ฌ๐‘ฟ๐‘ป๐‘น๐‘ฌ๐‘ด๐‘ฌ๐‘ณ๐’€ ๐‘ฎ๐‘น๐‘จ๐‘ป๐‘ฌ๐‘ญ๐‘ผ๐‘ณ”, wrote Brian in his full of love message#

Dear soulmates, last week I wrote to you about the first and probably the last concert of the band Placebo in China.

๐Ÿ€ To give you an idea of how strictly „the representatives“ of the Chinese people approach these matters, I share a few important references for you from various online magazines.
This article, which also deals with the ban on acting for Justin Bieber, states, among other things:

๐Ÿ“Œ China has banned pop idol Justin Bieber from performing because of his "bad behavior" on and off the stage.
The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture said the ban was necessary to "purify" the country's entertainment industry but suggested it was not permanent, expressing the hope that Bieber might improve his behavior and earn back the love of his fans. The 23-year-old singer-songwriter has had run-ins with the law over alleged drunk driving and drag racing.
Compared to British alternative rock band Placebo, Bieber was the lucky one. The group has had to cancel its gig at the Summer Sonic Festival in Shanghai in September and faces a lifetime ban from performing in China after posting a picture of the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet, on the band's official Instagram page. China considers the Nobel Peace Prize-winning monk a dangerous separatist.

๐Ÿ€ And these articles also talk about other artists who have had to face a ban on performing for Chinese fans.

๐Ÿ“Œ ...Even a simple Instagram post can anger the Chinese government: Placebo, an alternative rock duo composed of the eclectic Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal, is well aware of this because they received a lifetime ban from China after publishing a photo of the Dalai Lama with his quote on their social network.
The Chinese Ministry of Culture, which has always been hostile to Tibet's independence and the Dalai Lama, has considered offensive what the group has published, seeing Molko as a great admirer of the doctrines of Buddhism and a supporter of independent Tibet. Following a ban on entering the Far East, Placebo apologized to their Chinese fans for not being able to perform at the Summer Sonic Festival in Shanghai, scheduled for the end of August.
(๐‘‡๐บ๐ถ๐‘œ๐‘š 24, ๐ฝ๐‘ข๐‘™๐‘ฆ 2017)

๐Ÿ“Œ „Overseers, who are traditionally ultra-conservative, have smartened up to the excesses and potential political dangers of large-scale gatherings. From Justin Bieber to Korean sopranos to ’90s alt-rock band Placebo, the list of international artists not welcome in China has expanded exponentially." /...../
"Then, in 2008, Bjork shouted, “Tibet! Tibet!” at a concert in Shanghai, thereby screwing things up for everyone. The regulatory landscape for music changed indelibly. Authorities doubled down on a cumbersome permit and approval process for foreign bands that remains in place to this day."

๐Ÿ“Œ What's more, Bjork was banned from China in 2008 after calling for Tibet independence during a concert in Shanghai, and Oasis and Maroon 5 have also angered China by voicing support for Tibet.

๐Ÿ€ As you can see, China is still closing itself off from the world with its attitude to human rights and freedoms. Thanks to the work on this post, I was able to find many other interesting events on this topic - for example, how this dictatorship of the country also affected the advertising of Mercedes-Benz, which has huge sales in China.
But we will close this topic with something more pleasant๐Ÿฅฐ.
I can't leave you tonight without Placebo's songs, so I've picked out some amazing videos for you from their tour of Australia, which immediately followed the canceled concert in Shanghai. Enjoy this short but perfect show:

Dear soulmates,
Today I’d like to talk to you about Brian’s deep interest in Eastern philosophy, generally, and Buddhism, in particular. Last Tuesday, I started the topic a little bit with Brian’s amazing version of the Beatles’ song ๐€๐œ๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐”๐ง๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž that has some Buddhist reference in it. Now, I collected a couple of quotes to illustrate his way to accepting this kind of a world view from previously being raised as a born-again Christian by his mother.

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: “I was raised a born-again Christian. I gave my life over to Jesus when I was 11; took it back when I was 14. But that stays with you for a long time.”

After a period of rebellion against his religious education, young Brian became more and more interested in spirituality and humanism rather that any kind of specific religion. However, Buddhist attitude to life, world and people got to be the most attractive and acceptable to him.
Brian took his first longer travel to India when he was on a pretty dark side in his life and desperately needed a cardinal change – just to survive… Staying there appeared to be very helpful for him.
๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: "I lived in India for four months at the end of our previous tour [Black Market Music tour]. [...] I have never seen people so kind and generous elsewhere than in Asia. The less you have and the more you give … What I like in Buddhism, in opposition to the Judeo-Christian religion, is that ... here, you are punished for your sins, while there, you are punished by your sins, it weighs on your karma. And it seems more realistic to me."

๐๐ซ๐ข๐š๐ง: "The theme of “Song to say goodbye” is keeping only the best aspects of your life. It's the first track I wrote in India. I went there for a lot of reasons, one of them being to try and change my lifestyle. I wanted to make me understand that I should not become a rock'n'roll clichรฉ and that the world doesn't need another dead rock star. I've written it as a letter to myself."

And I think if we stopped to actually understand the effects that we have on the world, then we would make the world a better place. Unfortunately, as people we’re all very emotional and our culture is very important in terms of what we choose to believe.
I think so many people have ghetto-ised religion and made it into something that is bad, but in fact it’s something that helps us all be better people and that’s what we want.

There were quite a few moments in Placebo’s career connected to Buddhism in some way.
In 2008, there was an absolutely significant concert at ๐‘จ๐’๐’ˆ๐’Œ๐’๐’“ ๐‘พ๐’‚๐’•, a 12th-century Buddhist temple, aimed to raise awareness about human trafficking.

An impressive story of founding the monastery was told by one of the monks invited by Brian.

Over the years, Brian used to share inspiring Buddhist statements and pictures on ๐‘ท๐’๐’‚๐’„๐’†๐’ƒ๐’๐’˜๐’๐’“๐’๐’… ๐‘ฐ๐’๐’”๐’•๐’‚๐’ˆ๐’“๐’‚๐’Ž ๐’‚๐’„๐’„๐’๐’–๐’๐’• like this one, the Buddha statue posted on June 2nd, 2018.


Many of you may remember that recently, Brian asked us, Placebo fans, to help protect aforementioned monastery ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’Ž๐’š๐’† ๐‘ณ๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ, a wonderful spiritual place that means a lot to him. The peaceful valley was supposed to be used for target practice by the US Army special forces… Then, Brian also told us a moving story of his friend and teacher, Lama Yeshe, the abbot at Samye Ling.

Happily, spreading the word worked out! The military backed down on their plans of using the area. “๐‘ฐ ๐‘จ๐‘ด ๐‘ท๐‘ฌ๐‘น๐‘บ๐‘ถ๐‘ต๐‘จ๐‘ณ๐‘ณ๐’€ ๐‘ฌ๐‘ฟ๐‘ป๐‘น๐‘ฌ๐‘ด๐‘ฌ๐‘ณ๐’€ ๐‘ฎ๐‘น๐‘จ๐‘ป๐‘ฌ๐‘ญ๐‘ผ๐‘ณ”, wrote Brian in his full of love message

How could I finish my today’s post?.. I just genuinely hope that all the power and wisdom of Buddhist philosophy can help Brian enough to keep the peace of mind he’s been always longing for…๐Ÿ’“
