My Unborn Child

[Bender]

Tupac was no Buddha, but the evidence is there that He studied teachings relating to Eastern Philosophy/Religion such as: The Tibetan Book of the Dead, Ponder on This, and Teachings of the Buddha. Having read them myself I can see a kind of connection to Tupac's work which has been described by Leila Steinberg.

A perspective of which I find a genuine intrigue puts a whole different side to what Tupac has said:

"To My Unborn child" - Gives the impression of a featus yet to be, yet Unborn is a Buddhist term for the 'Buddha mind'. A different view which paints a picture of a kind of reaching out to peoples dormant 'Buddha mind' of which thay are unaware.

"I wanna distinguish myself. I believe I am a natural born leader." - Now Distinguish is the term given, in many books on Buddhism, to the analogy of Nirvana. The eventual banishment of the three fires of bondage: Greed, Hate, and Suffering.



Although the above is subjective, a mere coincidence possesses no interest or mystery.

it's spelled fetus, and the song has nothing to do with budda or richard gere putting gerbils in his butt. it's a song about a child that has not yet come to be. when people pay attention to the lyrics they understand why a song was written. when people google tengential thoughts, they come up with nonsense.
