From the Artist

For spiritual practitioners in Tibet, one of the highest aspirations is to cultivate the heart of universal love—to become one who loves all sentient beings unconditionally. Thus, the measure of whether someone has cultivated universal love is illustrated in the classical Tibetan story of the mother who has only one child ("Buckikpe maa tar") and shows how much she would love and give care to her only child. Yes, this is a tall order and, in my case, I am far from actualizing this wonder and magnificence. Perhaps I can say that I have been inspired by this highest aspiration a tiny bit since my early years due to the kindness of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s living inspiration and his teachings on the Tibetan Spiritual culture of universal love. This inspiration gives me some sense of meaning, purpose, and direction, and helps me to channel my anger not to hate anyone, channel my temptations not to become overwhelmed by lust and greed, and channel my heart to try to love all and everyone. I often wonder if, even given a million years to do this, I can cultivate this universal love in my heart. That would be the beginning of the highest journey and meaning of my life.

Product Description

On his first solo album since 1995, former Tibetan monk and Grammy® nominee Nawang Khechog takes listeners on a musical pilgrimage into the experience of compassion through the vehicle of music. Nine original compositions meld the ancient ritual sounds of Nawang’s homeland with traditions from across the globe — to invoke the uplifting power of Universal Love. With Tibetan flute, long horn, and overtone chanting; universal horn; didgeridoo; African drums and kalimba; ocarinas; Native American drum; and chants of universal love by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Another wonderful cd from master of meditative music. It will set the tone for your day, or relax and de-stress you when you need it most. Everyone should have Nawang Khechog's music in their collection.

This music is great for yoga, mediation or going to sleep. Very original tracks, with a lot of eastern sounds. Definite recommendation.

I am always looking for new ambiance type music for my yoga classes and hadn't explored this artist yet. this particular cd, I don't think would work well in my yoga classes. For me, it isn't quit calming enough. It's ok but I'm not too excited about it.
