too much excitement over Buddhist Chant Boxes...

i don't have anything useful or enlightening to say. i wouldn't make a post, except that this is a sort of exercise in dedication for myself, and i don't want to slack out just yet.

oh, wait! enlightening! people, allow me to enlighten you. you need one of these:

it's FUNSIZE!

the basic idea is, it's a little electronic music box that plays Buddhist chants. apparently they're similar to prayer wheels, in that they have an endless loop of song or chant. people also use them to meditate, since the repetition can be soothing. (or it can make you flip out like a crazy person- repetitive noise often have this effect on me. especially beeping. *shudder.*) this blue one has 12 different settings, i also got the Tibetan 4 chant version. let me just say: MAGICAL.
if you want, you can buy one here.

it comes with a headphone port and a neckstrap- let me tell you, it does look a little goofy around the neck, like bling for a Buddhist rapper, or an alternative to LifeAlert... "Help! I'm having a heart attack!" well, it won't send an ambulance, but it will help you start praying to the ancestors that you'll be reincarnated into something good...*


*(yes, i know. i'm not being serious. i'm just kind of an asshole.)

i want the 69 song version- it has a psychedelic spinning light Buddha, it just doesn't get better than that....


OH WAIT, YES IT DOES. i want this with the burning passion of the sun. i haven't ordered it yet because i believe they are actually sold out, and i'm pretending that when i DO get my shit together and order it, i will actually get one. (i'll save the discussion about my completely neurotic fixation on random things later.)

and, just because someone went to the trouble of making an auto-embed code:
