The Dalai Lama

Leave it to His Holiness to make an entrance.

The Dalai Lama’s newly released debut album, Inner World Billboard’s New Age album chart. Successfully moving 2,000 units in just its first week, the record also scored impressive placements on the World Albums chart (No. 8) and Album Sales chart (No. 98), as Billboard reports.

Inner World pairs the Tibetan spiritual leader’s mantras and chants alongside ethereal, new age music composed by New Zealand artists Junelle and Abraham Kunin. The origins of the album date back to 2015

 

“He leaned forward and his eyes were sparkling, and his fingers were rubbing together and he [talked] about how music can help people in a way that he can’t; it can transcend differences and return us to our true nature and our good heartedness,” Junelle added.

 

The 11-track collection was originally released July 6th to coincide with the 85th birthday of The Dalai Lama, whose real name is Tenzin Gyatso. Its net proceeds went to the Mind & Life Institute and Social, Emotional and Ethical Learning, an international education program The Dalai Lama developed with Emory University.

One of My Favorite Prayers

Dalai Lama

 

Dalai Lama - Inner World: The Buddha (Instrumental)

 

One of my favorite prayer,

Daily I repeat this
I think sometimes, I think one hundred times
Different location or different time,

Llike that

내가 가장 좋아하는기도 중 하나,

매일 나는 이것을 반복합니다.
가끔은 백 번 생각 해요
다른 장소나 다른 때,

그  처럼

For as long as space endures
And, or, as long as living beings remain
Until then may I too abide
To dispel the misery of the world

우주가 지속되는 한
그리고, 또는 살아있는 존재가 남아있는 한
그때까지 나는 살아야 할까

세상의 고통을 쫓아내기 위하여

 

For as long as space endures
And, or, as long as living beings remain
Until then may I too abide
To dispel the misery of the world

 

Dalai Lama - Inner World: The Buddha (Instrumental)

An instrumental only version of Inner World, a sacred offering from The Dalai Lama of mantras and teachings set to music.

The mantras are like medicine, when we hear them they change our energy, like meditation. Especially helpful when our resources are low, they have been offered to support our every day lives.
