Editorial Reviews: 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.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: My favorite CD Comment: This Cd just wipes all my cares away, and cleanes my entire home of negative energy. I love it!! Customer Rating: Summary: Spiritual Music Comment: 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! Customer Rating: Summary: As authentic as it gets -- no room for idiots Comment: I listen to a lot of different recordings of Tibetan chant in my meditative practice (as a beginning practitioner), and this recording on CD is great for anyone interested in Eastern, Tibetan, or tantric meditation as a practice. Contrary to some novice who finds the throat clearings "distracting," I welcome the absolute authenticity of these ritual chants. People should demand nothing less when it comes to rituals. I don't seek cleaned-up, filtered-down, overproduced, glamourized recordings to flirt with. These are meaningful and spiritual sounds. They come from the belly of the universe, and shame on those who want their chants prettied up. There is nothing in the ambient noises that distracts me from going deeper and deeper into meditation, so this disc was absolutely a good buy and is now one of my top meditation CDs. Customer Rating: Summary: Practioner Comment: I first heard this album in my College's music library. It is so good that years later, remembering how good its vibrations were for me, I searched hard to find it again. I've listened to a few other Tibetan pujas on CD and this one is exceptionally good, in my opinion. It's true there are some coughs etc, but I didn't find them distracting. Customer Rating: Summary: Too Many Distractions! Comment: The chants, although impressive, were littered with coughs, throat clearings and sniffling---all by someone very close to the microphone. This was definitely a "real" recording, no frills---but I found all the extra little noises distracting. More Reviews
