S. F. Herald, December, 2000

"Tara mantras" is a truly inspired recording. Well suited as meditative background music or for the serious Tibetan Buddhist practitioner.

Product Description

"Tara Mantras" contains the essential chants to the deity of Tara, in her Green and White emanations, chanted by H. E. Dagmo Jamyang Sakya with Lama Nyima Gejie. They were digitally recorded in Santa Monica, CA by David V. Gregoli for Dharmapala Records. The CD can be used as an aid to the Tara practice or to create a meditative mood.

Dagmo Jamyang Sakya, considered by many to be an emanation of Tara, is one of the few women Tibetan Buddhist lamas, very rare and precious.

She is the wife of H.H. Jigdal Dagchen Sakya, who is a lineage holder of Sakya, one of the four sects of Tibetan Buddhism. His father was Trichen Ngawang Thuptop Wangchuk, the last great throne-holder in Sakya, Tibet.

The deity Tara is the female emanation of the Buddha of Compassion who chooses forever to reincarnate as a woman. She is the Mother of All Buddhas.

All profits from this CD go to The Mother Tara Sakya Center or 'Tara-Ling'. This is a non-sectarian, non-profit Tibetan Buddhist Center whose mission is to preserve and teach Tibetan culture and philosophy to all who are interested, through the message of Tara.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mantra and Self-understanding, June 11, 2005

Mantra is a tool to connect with subtle vibrations that transform our minds/hearts into purified existence. The mantra avialable on this recording can help you in that direction. Green Tara mantra is usefull for all kinds of healing, be it personal afflictions, addictions, vices etc.. The Vajrasattva Mantra is for purification and resolution of past karma.

This is not music, this is prayer. Her voice on the recording is full of clarity and innocence, and this is passed along to the one listening to this chanting.

I work in a spiritual bookstore and have listed to hundreds of "mantra" cd's. This is of the highest quality and sincerity of heart that you can possibly find.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very beautiful recording, May 28, 2004

I just want to say that dispite the negative review, this is a very worthwhile recording. However, it is NOT a recording of the deep overtone chanting style made famous by the Gyoto and Drepung Losling monasteries. Instead, this is a very bare-bones recording of chanting, very similar to what I have experienced when doing Tibetan Buddhist practice with my lamas. Both styles of chanting have their qualities... but I could see how one might be dissappointed with this recording if you're expecting the former!

Really outstanding recording. Feels like I'm in Tibet with the Himalayan mountains in the background. Very inspiring!
