真善美的旋律

Music serves as a bridge connecting young people with Buddhism, and uplifting, positive music has the power to inspire them toward goodness and growth. The Malaysian Buddhist Youth Association (MBYA) recognizes the unique role of Buddhist music in spreading the Dharma. Therefore, it has long been dedicated to the creation and promotion of Buddhist songs, hoping to use music as a medium to encourage more young people to embrace Buddhism and embark on their spiritual journey.

In the year 2000, MBYA released its first original Buddhist music album, The Melody of Truth, Kindness, and Beauty. Upon its debut, the album was warmly received by the public, bringing a refreshing wave to the Chinese music scene at the time. This album captured the heartfelt moments of many young people as they grew and embarked on their Buddhist journey, serving as a reflection of their self-exploration and spiritual renewal. The songs avoided complex Buddhist terminology and did not carry a preachy tone. Instead, they conveyed the shared emotions of youth through warm and pure language, touching the hearts of every listener.

In 2002, The Melody of Truth, Kindness, and Beauty II – Beneath the Roof of Causes and Conditions was released, once again receiving an enthusiastic response. Some of its songs even topped radio charts, marking a significant milestone in the history of Buddhist music and solidifying the Melody of Truth, Kindness, and Beauty series as a classic.In 2012, MBYA took a step further by releasing its first Buddhist music video (MV), extending the impact of Buddhist songs beyond sound—using visuals to touch the hearts of listeners.

In 2020, the third album, Soaring with Aspirations, was released. This album was the result of the collective efforts of multiple Buddhist music composers and featured award-winning songs from the Melody of Truth, Kindness, and Beauty Original Buddhist Song Competition.Featuring ten songs, the album blends elements of Buddhist and pop music, embodying the essence of the Melody of Truth, Kindness, and Beauty series. It reflects the concerns and aspirations of modern Buddhist youth for society, the nation, and personal growth.
