Tibetan Meditation Music
for Quiet Mind and Peaceful Heart
by Nawang Khechog
Nawang Khechog is a former Tibetan Buddhist monk who, for the past 20 years, has dedicated himself to producing
contemporary Tibetan meditation music. He has produced several successful albums for Sounds True. The music
includes flute, drilbu, chant, Tibetan bells, and natural sounds like wind and thunder, and is relaxing, healing
and effective in producing a meditative state of peaceful heart and quiet mind. For those who may be unacquainted
with Tibetan chant, the booklet included with the CD offers some translation of Tibetan lyrics and a brief
introductory explanation of the meaning behind the chants.
One particularly moving chant for which translation is provided consists of a daily prayer and practice of
the Dalai Lama that is based on a poem composed by Tibetan master Langri Thang-pa in the eleventh century. It
begins with these words: "Loving all sentient beings forever, as dearly as if one has found a great treasure
chest." This same chant ends with the prayer to free one’s self from "the bondage of ignorance through realizing
the illusory-like nature of life, things, and events."
If you are at all interested in learning something about Tibetan Buddhism, this CD could provide a beautiful
beginning. Supporting this artist also supports the principles to which he dedicates his work: The preservation
of Tibetan culture and the freedom of the Tibetan people, the promotion of the values of love and compassion,
and the encouragement of religious harmony throughout the world. OM MANI PADME HOONG |
