Thoughts on Pearl Jam

[asurapuji]

Evenflow. Thoughts arise like butterflies.
He don't know. So he chases them away.
Oh, someday, he'll begin his life again.

bet none of you knew that song was about pratitya samutpada. bet none of you know what pratitya samutpada even is. come to think of it, i don't think eddie vedder knows what it is either.

"whispering hands will lead him away"

i figured it had something to do with buddhism or at least some form of meditation (chasing thoughts away), but no, i didn't know that. or, for that matter, what that is at all.

i don't actually know if it has to do with buddhism or if it's just a coincidence. but, it amuses me none the less.
