One of my favorite CD's. I enjoy playing this very softly while I sleep. I'd recommend it highly for anyone interesed in that, adding soft background music to a shopping place, or even playing it to relax an infant. In fact, I think it would be wonderful for that.

I never have used it for meditation as I do that in silence. I can see easily how this CD could be used for that with great success, but if like some of the others you are looking specifically for a meditation CD I'd suggest shopping around. I believe, however, that anyone who meditates would be delighted to have this music in their collection. In fact, in addition to calling it a spiritual lullaby perhaps one could call it a meditation luxury.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buddhist Chanting is for everyone but these are not chants, January 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Buddhist Chants & Peace Music (Audio CD)

As a recent convert to Buddhism, I can say that this CD has been an important part of my collection. I belong to a Chinese Mahayana Temple here in Japan and both these melodies are familiar to me. Only one of the pieces recorded are what many reviewers are calling "chants" though. The rest are devotional songs sung outside of the temple for lay people to meditate to or to copy out the Heart Sutra in Chinese characters as a meditation practice. I use this CD for that purpose. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in Chinese traditional music, Buddhism, Tai Chi, Qigong etc. Peace

I first heard the CD at a BiKram Yoga studio. I immediately thought it would be an excellent CD for meditation. I bought it and thoroughly enjoy it now.
