Synopsis

Album Description

2003 GRAMMY Award Winner for Best Traditional World Music Album Sherab Ling Monastery nestles in the gentle pine-forested foothills of northern India's Kangra Valley, the seat of its founder His Eminence Ti Situpa XII, a leading Tibetan Buddhist teacher and peace campaigner. Here the monks perform as part of their daily lives prayer ceremonies originating many centuries ago in the great Buddhists monasteries of Tibet. This CD presents the Lineage Prayer with which the monks begin their day, offering respect to a line of great meditation practitioners going back as far as the 7th century, and the Mahakala Ceremony, part of each day's closing ritual in which the monks ask for purification and dedicate their blessings to all sentient creatures.

CD Reviews

Eerie, authentic Tibetian temple songs

Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 02/13/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Although it opens with familiar-sounding throat sings and droning chants, this disc explores a wider range of styles, with songs and arrangements that may be unfamiliar to many world music fans... Not goofy pop remixes, as others have done, but rather a deeper exploration of the real traditional material of Tibet's ancient religious heritage. Unusual and quite pleasant; this is an album whose charms will slowly sneak up on you and then become quite compelling."

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The CD consists of three daily practices performed by the monks of Sherab Ling Monastery. Authentic Tibetan chanting has real power to remove obstacles and pacify the minds of listeners. I therefore recommend this CD very highly!"
