This review is from: Drops of Emptiness (Audio CD)

"Drops of Emptiness" is a CD compilation of the songs and poetry of Plum Village, a Buddhist monastic community located in southwestern France. The monks and nuns of this community are refugees from Vietnam, but their influence reaches far beyond the Vietnamese or Buddhist traditions. Their words are inspirational: drawing strongly on images of nature to move the listener toward meditation and prayer. The format is simple, most of the poems are either chanted or sung acapella, a few are accompanied by the deep reverberations of a bell or lighter taps on a "song lang" a traditional Vietnamese instrument used to keep time.

For those interested in exploring Buddhism, this CD is a must. For those interested in new insights into spirituality, "Drops of Emptiness" is anything but empty.
