One Piano Heart Sutra, a video DVD of a live concert / Buddhist teaching given in October, 2005, may be the first ever attempt to explicate the core teachings of contemplative Buddhism using classical Western music as a teaching vehicle. Lama Surya Das, reknowned teacher in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, said of it, “Beyond impressive!” Enjoy this utterly unique and spontaneous melding of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, oral teachings on the nature of consciousness, and the world premiere of “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep,” a musical journey of Lewis’ 1999 coma, illness and miraculous healing.

This live concert video may be the first ever attempt to explicate the core teachings of contemplative Buddhism using classical Western music as a teaching vehicle. Lewis uses Bach’s Goldberg variations and his own compositions to show how our consciousness is intrinsically without boundary or form, luminous, radiant and directly accessible. This is the inner meaning of the word “Buddha.”
