The scriptures and incantations recited by Buddhism are all handed down by teachers, and with the strength of faith and mind, chanting itself has extraordinary appeal and blessing.

-"Poetry Curse and Wandering Series"

Such as "The Season of Rape Blooming" and "Lucky Valley". The combination of poetry and mantra is not only the mutual care between Buddhism and reality, but also a transcendence and sublimation of real life.

-"Qin Chan Yin You Series"

It is a poetic and Zen music presentation based on the traditional culture of China, such as the album Singing in an Empty Mountain.

The singing in Mr. Ma Changsheng's works is the deepest expression in his heart. He is free to follow his inclinations, informal and shallow in singing. Nature is just like everything and its light. Singing in the Empty Mountain has also become the most popular composition of Qin Ge's music in contemporary China.

A song with a light posture.

With a heart, truth and peace enter the poem.

"Singing is to return to the place where the soul is happy.

All the notes and hymns deserve an auspicious blessing.

In Qingyuan's stray songs, joys and sorrows became pure land. "

"Ma Changsheng, a Buddhist poet.

Like a singer who sings in the passage of time, she seems to be alone, but she is close and kind.

Ma Changsheng started a rare singing method in Buddhist music creation with a bard-like gait.

His music has a touching and appropriate temperature, which is warm, soft and unpretentious.

His words are warm and unique, revealing the meaning of awakening the world, full of charm and profound meaning.

His voice and wandering mood have been moving for a long time, ups and downs and touching.

Growing up in the vast world of Qinghai pastoral area, immersed in natural rain and dew and religious elegance, let me awaken to the creation of Buddhist music in the depths of my soul. On the way to music, I met my teacher Wang Caikun Rinpoche, who was practicing Dharma, accompanied by Buddhism, and created truthfully with guqin, voice and Buddha's heart. I am absorbed in poetry, and I am free to sing. "
