IN METTA (A Collaboration Of Peace & Light) IMEE OOI & DEWA BUDJANA
For the first time ever, Dewa Budjana adds his musical wizardry to Imee’s always authentic Buddhist compositions, well known by millions of fans to be relaxing, calming, and an aid to meditation and mindfulness. The album satisfies music lovers, Buddhist practitioners and listeners seeking peaceful retreat.
The songs in this album are set to some of the best-loved Buddhist prayers, all in their complete and proper form. Because of this, they are also well suited for spiritual practice.
The album has four songs. Two of the songs, “Chant of Metta – In Loving-Kindness” and “Om Mani Padme Hum – In Mindfulness,” are two of Imee’s most famous songs, this time redone with Budjana’s exquisitely delicate musical arrangements that resonate with the ear and the heart. “Puppha Puja – In Acceptance” is a new song, composed by Imee and arranged by Budjana. “Tisarana – In Refuge” is a completely new composition by Imee and Budjana.
“Metta” means loving-kindess in Pali, the ancient Indian language used in the time of the Buddha. Although Dewa Budjana is a devout practicing Hindu, he has made albums of other religions that have been very well received, including an album of the Islam faith and a Christmas album.
Made the spirit of tolerance and peace, it is a groundbreaking effort for both artists. This work is the result of an interfaith effort, composed and arranged by a Buddhist and a Hindu, Mixed by a Christian, and mastered by a Muslim.
Even in its short preview releases, the response has been glowing:
The symbol of appreciation of diversity by artists should be expressed with noble works according to their optimal abilities. Dewa Budjana continues to do that. An unending spiritual journey, as the Buddha says: “It is better to travel well than to arrive. “
– Triawan Munaf, Chairman of the Indonesian Government Board for Creative Economy
Imee Ooi, to my mind the foremost composer and performer of Buddhist-inspired music in the world today, lives her profound art. She is a wellspring of innovative melodic settings for ageless Buddhist mantras, sutras and chants. Her catalog of music CDs has sold millions worldwide, more importantly her tunes are heard in monasteries from Sydney to San Francisco. Transcending the ethereal background sounds played in yoga studios and spas, Imee’s presentation of the Buddha’s wisdom in musical form has inspired the Bodhi-Resolve in opening hearts around the world. May this collaboration with the artistic genius of Dewa Budjana become a source of calm, healing goodness for you. Put your phone on Airplane Mode, sit quietly, listen and be inspired.
– Rev. Heng Sure, Managing Director, Berkeley Buddhist Monastery

Dawai In Paradise (2011)
Dawai In Paradise
Home (2005)
Home is where the heart is, some say. For others, it is where the hurt is. But be it the source of joy or pain, each of us must long for a familiar place, a place to go back to …a sanctuary.
Many have lost that very place, like our brothers and sisters, the victims of tsunami. Others’ homes continue to be hit by savage attacks, including the recent tragedy in my hometown Bali.
This record aims at uttering my deepest sorrow and compassion. I hope time can heal our wounds, and we can finally find our way home. Home in the harmony with nature, and home in the world without hatred and sheer bigotry.

Gitarku……..kekasihku
Gitarku……..inspirasiku
Gitarku……..karyaku
& kupersembahkan gitarku
You can bring this album to one of your meditation classes, yoga sessions or such, you will find it it’s the right thing to do. Why? It’s relaxing, peace and ease your mind and also your body. This is Dewa Budjana with his guitar releasing second solo album called ‘Gitarku.’
“I’ve always wanted to make a new age kind of album. Doing that you can also have a mean to contemplate and reflecting. That’s why all the compositions that I wrote in this album were intentionally made so simple. I’ve lessen using complicated improvisation and mainly distortion,” express Budjana. Budjana plays ‘Gitarku’ as a reflection of his life journey. Reflecting the peace of his music carrier for years and the good relationships among Indonesian and global musicians.
“I’ve done, learned all kinds of music genre. From Indra Lesmana’s jazz to my recent group GIGI. The loud, distortion sound I pour on GIGI and now I want to reveal my other side. And this is my other side.”
‘Gitarku’ spent one year in a making (1999-2000). Nine songs are all written with a clear concept and theme. “Kunang-Kunang” burst an enchanting harmonization composition from a guitar, Indonesian flute, percussion and a bit of synth touches. A personification of all God creatures that are rarely to find in metropolitan city.
