This is my favorite Nawang cd. Tibetan flute and Australian didgeridoo. Nawang was a Tibetan monk who eventually fled to Australia to evade the Chinese annexation. Though renouncing monkhood he is still very much involved in his spirituality and this shows in his music. I have never heard a single instrument played to such effect. Peace is the main theme of all his work but this is not passivity, this is not the sleep of unconsciousness. This is a dynamic peace, one which engages all the varieties of life yet never gets bogged down by them. There is power here, power of the wisdom of Earth and the compassion of Buddha. The music brings the spirit of the listener to the portals of Shambhala, to the heart of Tibet, and to the center of the adamantine throne on which sits the Buddha. Of course we are all really Buddha deep inside, so when we come to the center of the throne we come to the center of ourselves. Listen to this disk and you will hear what I mean. One reviewer mentioned that it is only good for sleep. I do like to listen to peaceful music when I go to sleep, but I can never do that with Nawang. The music floats, to borrow a phrase from Hildegard von Bingen, like a feather on the breath of oneness. What could be more exciting than that? But to each his own. We hear as we are able, and should one hear what another does not is that to mean one is wrong and the other right? No. Each is in his own place, and each hears what is right for him. For me, you cannot get much more right than Nawang Khechog.

How you could NOT like this CD is beyond me. The feelings it invokes are indescribable. It touches your soul the instant you hear it. I've gotten 3 of his CD's so far, and plan on buying the rest. The word "Amazing" doesn't do this man's talent justice. He's a gift from heaven. Everyone should hear it at least once. That's all you'd need. Absolutely incredible....

Ignore the naysayer. This is a beautifully calming work. One of the best I have ever heard.

I got this because I love the sound of flute music and the peace within it gives me. I use the cd to calm myself and to daydream or meditate.

A very peaceful and relaxing CD. Just listen to the samples for yourself.

I think this is an awsome album, I originally had purchased this CD in the late 90's only to replace it once more. This album is just beautiful.

I am a huge fan of Nawang-la, this CD is spectacular.

I am totally sold on Nawang Khechog. The first time I played this CD in the car my 17 year old son fell asleep, so you know it must be good. While meditating with this music in the background, I was moved to tears after which I experienced great calm. I can't recommend this enough.

This Cd tend to become monotonous very quickly and will not be played often, it is good for sleep.
