Synopsis

Album Description

Sacred Tibetan Buddhist Chant RELATIVE SOUND OF THE ULTIMATE Monks of Palpung Sherab Ling Monastery, 2004 GRAMMY® WINNERS, Release New CD "Relative Sound of the Ultimate: Monks of Palpung Sherab Ling", the Monastery?s new CD contains sacred Tibetan Buddhist Chants which have developed within the Kagyu lineage over many hundreds of years. The pure transmission has been treasured as sacred from generation to generation, from Chanting Master to Chanting Master within the Kagyu lineage. Performed through the ages as dedicated prayer by thousands of Kagyu monks, nuns and lay people, these chants carry the power of sacred intention and have been recorded as they are performed within the walls of the Palpung Sherab Ling Monastery. "Relative Sound of the Ultimate" has been superbly recorded and captures the wide open sonic atmosphere of the Monastery prayer hall where the live recording was made, as well as the deeply warm and centering sound of the Monks performing these sacred chants in the Palpung style.

CD Reviews

Resonant and Profound

Paule Marx | Taos, NM | 07/31/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've listened to many CD's of monks chanting and this is a very superior recording. The chanting is superb. Listening to this CD from the opening bird song and children's voices to the final Blessing of the Three Jewels chant has the effect of stillng my mind and allowing me to experience a blissful spaciousness."

"This lovely, sincere performance was captured on a cd with more clarity and dynamic range than I have recently experienced."

Relatively New to Buddhist Chanting

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I am active in a Christian denomination and not interested in Buddhism except from an educational standpoint. However, I have come to enjoy SOME Buddhist chanting, and this album is definitely one of the best I've heard in my rather limited experience. I don't know what a 5-star album of this sort might be like, but I suspect it couldn't be a whole lot better than this one. I only rated it 4 stars because I figure there's probably something just a little better out there. This will suffice quite nicely though. Very relaxing, good recording."
