Some of my friends had the idea that I’m preaching LSD as the miracle drug that could change the world, which, when I was younger, was indeed a naive idea that I had often dreamt of. 

By the way, who mined those crystals? Like, is it all like fair-trade and sustainable? That’s more important to me for now.  

An excerpt from Rainbow Warrior Handbook, "On LSD, the separateness of these networks breaks down and instead you see a more integrated or unified brain.”

Why I think Sweden is "better" than Singapore.

"43% of our doctors, our engineers, our school teachers, our colleagues, could all be terrorists in disguise."

The term "ze" serves to give the freedom of choice to individuals who do not feel that they belong to either the male or female gender.

Plants are using biochemicals to send a message of survival that the world needs to hear.

You hate capitalism. But you wear Adidas, smoke Marlboros, and take selfies with your iPhone.

Are we becoming the "immigrants" mainstream media has stereotyped us as?

"A majority of us are still stuck in the archaic patriarchal mindset that men have to be manly, do manly shit, drink manly drinks and wear manly clothes."

We went to our moon and stuck an American flag there. So why can’t aliens come to earth and paint an alien dick picture and post it up on alien instagram?

Every time I eat meat, the mix of intense ecstasy and overbearing guilt slides down my throat. It’s kinda like having sex with your best friend’s partner. Super exciting, but really wrong. 

I’m not here to corrupt your culture’s values. Nor am I here to try to influence you to adopt the Singaporean culture. Neither am I milking your welfare system.

Yes, dear boss, I quit. And here's why.

While we know that LSD is illegal, you might still encounter some stranger at a rave who would offer you some. When that happens, here’s our take on it.

Many of us become disconnected from the stars in the sky because we concern ourselves with the ones we see dancing around on television. 

Because the whole idea of paying people money to make us do something is an insult to the human spirit. And all stock images are lies.

So who the fuck came up with these terrible things we tell to children to make them behave?

"People are free to travel without passports. There won’t be any refugees. Nor immigrants. We are all citizens of this Earth."

Lurking in the midst of these big-hearted people, there’re those who want others to think that they are volunteering but in actual fact, not doing much at all.

A genuine heterosexual does NOT concern himself with homosexuality, especially if he/she has a healthy sex life.

It’s fucking simple shit. A kid, covered in bruises, turns up at your doorstep crying. She’s hungry, cold, and ran away from home because Daddy’s beating her up. What would you say to her?

Dear 15 Year Old.
People will never accept you because you’re different. Always remember it’s their loss.

It seems as if the majority of our society prefers obedience over intelligence.

“He worked like a dog, gave nothing back then died full of regret” is a pretty fucking depressing obituary. Go out and live.

“It’s the last time I can swipe right today, so I’ll save it for someone special.”

You want anarchy? This is anarchy. We might not solve any long-term problems for homelessness, but at least we can show them that we care. And that can mean the world to someone. 

"I grew up in a Baptist family, which is (at the moment) gradually becoming predominately Jehovah's Witnesses. Honestly, I cannot believe the things they believe and how they all sound like script-following, robotic individuals who have been programmed to recruit more believers."

We would like to use this chance to bring his legacy to the next level and usher in the new generation of citizens.

 I was invited to witness the big bang. I was at the front row in the cinema of the miracle of creation.

We're not sure if we're getting this right. But here's the advice from our team of writers.

Senast i april i år beräknas vattnet från den vattenreservoar vi använder i vårt område, Cantareira, vara helt slut.

We are all humans. We all deserve a chance to fight for a better living. And if we want to make things better for everyone in Singapore, we better fucking change our attitude.

Many of us have never heard of Charlie Hebdo until recently, including me.

Darwin’s theory of the survival of the fittest kinda explains why humans are the biggest assholes in today’s ecosystem.

“What the fuck is this hippie blabbering on about?”

When a bunch of good people in Malmö, Sweden decided to come together to redefine raving, they called it Backyard Sessions. 

When a bunch of people with dreadlocks decide to gather in the wilderness, collectively refusing to shower, beautiful things usually happen.

"If God was a sound, she would reside in Norberg Festival."

Welcome to Andra Vaerlden Gathering 2017 – A charming gathering of kindred souls, smelly hippies, and world-class musicians

Highlights from probably the most scenic festival on planet earth

The greatest highlights from the festival, plus some juicy stuff!

ANOTHER SPACE / ANOTHER PLACE challenges the image of our time and discusses issues concerning place, identity and visions of a possible future. 

"I hate tents, I hate large crowds of intoxicated ppl, and I can't deal with feeling like I'm trapped in zombie land for days without having anything to do besides getting intoxicated."

Amidst ISIS terror attack warnings from the authorities, and the rife fear mongering, our Middle East ravers have set aside their differences and come together to stomp to the same beat of the galloping unicorn.

From the city of Ozora to the country town of Lost Theory, I have discovered and uncovered a deeper connection to the whole that surrounds me.

I found the Holy Lion staring straight into my eyes. It glowed a bright fiery orange, and the intensity in its eyes was not one of fury, but of infinite wisdom and power.

This time, Buddha Mag and our mascot Jessica Shanti Larsson jumped into a Saab with a few bindi-wearing wildlings, and embarked on a treacherous journey to the legendary Love Forest.

In this open document, you could write anything, add any picture, delete anyone's stuff, or even change the document title – with full anonymity, and zero personal consequences. So go ahead.

In 7 days, our poem became a collection of beautiful words from 213 submissions, from 28 countries, from ages 13 to 63. 

This year, instead of receiving, I believe that it'll be a greater gift if we can give to those less fortunate than us.

Everyone can poetry. That's why Buddha Mag has started a platform for all poets of world to showcase their talent, or the lack of it. You be the judge.

Our column for the print edition of The Ozorian Prophet – the daily newspaper that is distributed on the sacred festival grounds.

Don't let our homeless go hungry! Let's crowdfund them!

"I'm Jessica Larsson, a 21-year-old spiritual seeker from Stockholm, Sweden. My profile is a journey of my self discovery and spiritual enlightenment around the world. Love and light!"

The founders of Backyard Sessions, Malmö, envisioned something entirely different. They wanted to change the face of what we call “partying”.

Years of festival training wasn’t enough to prepare me for their superhuman party stamina.

"It’s the cool kid in school with green hair and a shitty nipple piercing you wished you had the guts to be."

"Kiloton is like a genderless knight in floral armour, riding into the mainstream scene of Malmö, to fight the injustices of bad club behavior and bad DJs that can only press play and pause on Spotify."

What you saw wasn’t your imagination, it’s a vision of a possible future

We’ve taken off our shoes, put on our bindis, and turned on the neon lights to dance our tits off in this all-female-DJ tribute to the saint.

The star of Burning Man as well as Boom Festival has descended to the mortal realms of the Malmö underground to take our minds to his whimsical wonderland.

"They talked about themselves and what they have, neither of which were very attention-grabbing."

"This year’s drill is the same as the last: Full power, 24 hour, no toilet, no shower, only brothers, sisters and lovers."

For those of you who don’t know who Sven Väth is, which I sincerely hope is none of you, he is a German DJ.

And not some overpaid jock-strap who wastes his fans’ time by pressing play then jumping around like a big sissy for 2 hours.

She’s inviting the world to share her passion for plants, to witness their immense power, and to remember that we are not just a part of nature, but nature itself. 

"Muxes for me is just a different gender. Here in Juchitán at least it's a normality. Here, people accept you and let you do what you want to do." 

Every picture was more than a captured moment – they were intimate stories of love, joy, and the immense strength of the human spirit. 

Be Svendsen describes his indescribable genre in this Buddha Mag exclusive interview.

"Mr.What? is about asking questions – About life, about our meaning. Who are we? What are we doing here?"

It’s Atari getting disco pregnant and giving birth to an Italian child.

She took control of our every sense, and our minds, leaving no room for individual thought, robbing us of our egos.

“I want to take them on a journey around the world, from East to West, stopping at the most beautiful places on the planet”
