4.0 out of 5 stars Ethereal Chinese Lullaby
This is a very soothing and relaxing CD. That said it bears no resemblance to any chanting that I have heard. Reason being that it carries a melody that can be hummed or whistled. However it is 0600hrs and it definately sets the mood for the morning.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music -- Not Chanting
If you've experienced 'live' chanting, without musical background, this CD will not bring that experience 'back'. I was hoping for male voices, chanting in unison. This CD contains 2 entries, both of the same song. The first version has singing with it, the other is the instrumental only.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant but repetitive, January 9, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hanshan Temple (Audio CD)
The melody is lovely, the singing voices are nice, the instruments are nice. But this CD is very very repetitive, so if you don't like the melody you're going to be disappointed. Also, this is singing, not traditional chanting, so don't be surprised. It is very pleasant to fall asleep to. The liner notes are interesting, although obviously translated by a limited English speaker.
