Ep 6: Buddhist Music (Ft Dr Kang Kee & BuddySings!)
Do you remember the songs that accompanied you through the key moments of your life? Whether it is falling in or out of love or going through lonely and dark nights, a good song would never fail to resonate, to give strength, and to heal.
This Vesak month, we learn more about Buddhist music from the eyes of Buddhist musicians.
There are two parts to this episode. We speak with Dr Kang Kee who left his job as a research scientist in order to create a social impact to the community. We learned about what inspires him to keep going on after more than 10 years, and how Buddhist music has helped make a difference in people's lives.
In the same episode, we also speak with the musicians, Pauline and Kelvin, from the Buddhist Band named BuddySings.
