Lotus Sutra Buddhist Garden in Parigné l'Evêque : Lotus Sutra Recitatio with AppleMusic Jazz Playlist Spiritual jazz

Saddharma-Pundarika or The Lotus of the True Law, translated by H. Kern The Dover Publications, Inc. edition, which served as the source for this video, was first published in 1963, as an unabridged and unaltered republication of the work first published by Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1884, as Volume XXI of "The Sacred Books of the East." In the mid-'60s, a small group of jazz musicians reacted to sociopolitical turbulence with a yearning for transcendence, embracing various strains of spirituality. John Coltrane's “A Love Supreme” offered a musical salute to the divine, while Albert Ayler had a rugged take on gospel (“Love Cry”). Others turned their focus abroad, with pianist Randy Weston embracing the trance grooves of Morocco's Gnawan people (“Marrakech Blues”) and Alice Coltrane adapting Indian raga (“Journey into Satchidananda”). The movement faded in the ‘70s, but four decades later L.A.'s Kamasi Washington brought it back in response to a consumerist cultural landscape.
