Tenzin Choejor
The Dalai Lama
The set debuts at No. 1 on the New Age Albums chart.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama appears on Billboard's charts for the first time with his debut album release, Inner World.
The album debuts at No. 1 on the New Age Albums chart (dated July 18) and No. 8 on World Albums with 2,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending July 9, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. About half of that sum is via album sales, as the set concurrently debuts at No. 98 on the all-genre Album Sales chart.
Inner World, which was released on the Dalai Lama's 85th birthday, July 6, features his spoken-word mantras and teachings mixed with music. The music was recorded by New Zealand musicians Junelle and Abraham Kunin.
Dalai Lama is the title given by Tibetan people to the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. The religious name of the current, 14th Dalai Lama, whose vocals appear on the album, is Tenzin Gyatso, who has held the position since 1940.
Dalai Lama-Inner World -Compassion
The Dalai Lama's vocals on Inner World are taken from recorded conversations he had with Kunin. He also recites the mantras of the seven Buddhas, which covers such topics as wisdom, courage, healing and children. After finishing the conversations, Junelle's husband, Abraham, helped create the music and sounds heard on the album.
Notably, Grammy-nominated sitar player Anoushka Shankar, who is the daughter of legendary musician Ravi Shankar, is featured on one of the album's tracks, "Ama La."

The Dalai Lama - “Inner World”
A sacred offering of mantras and teachings set to music
Album out now, Honoring His Holiness’ 85th Birthday
“Music has the potential to transcend our differences. It can return us to our true nature of warm-heartedness”
- The Dalai Lama
As announced via the Associated Press, HitCo Entertainment and Khandro Music have released a unique album of mantras and teachings by The Dalai Lama set to music, entitled “Inner World”. Released to honor his 85th birthday celebrations on July 6th, 2020, the album will be a great dedication to the decades of his vision and work for world peace and educating the heart. The beautiful 2 CDs + Book Edition is out now - order here.
When asked why he accepted the request to make the album, he answered, “The very purpose of my life is to serve as much as I can.” He also added, “Music can help people in a way that I can’t.”
“Inner World” is an offering of the Dalai Lama reciting mantras and giving short teachings all woven to a bed of music.
Album Tracklist:
1. One Of My Favorite Prayers
2. The Buddha
3. Compassion
4. Courage
5. Ama La feat. Anoushka Shankar
6. Healing
7. Wisdom
8. Purification
9. Protection
10. Children
11. Humanity
The origins of “Inner Word” began in 2015, when one of the project’s co-executive producers and a longtime student of The Dalai Lama, Junelle Kunin, wrote to him requesting his participation, by fervently explaining her feelings that an album by such a compassionate and wise being would help people particularly who struggle with emotional stress. After reading her letter, his response was enthusiastic, saying, “This will benefit many people!”.
She and her husband Abraham Kunin, both from New Zealand, spent the next five years working to bring the project to life. The Dalai Lama’s recordings have been thread through music composed by Abraham and performed on thirty-plus instruments by himself and a cast of collaborators from around the world, including a special guest performance from Anoushka Shankar on “Ama La.” The composer integrated the live performances with artful programming and production, building a peaceful bedrock for these sacred offerings.
The album will be released in conjunction with an “Inner World” companion booklet, revealing the benefits of the mantras written by Venerable Robina Courtin, and exclusive, stunning artwork; a collaboration between the acclaimed New Zealand duo of Ella Brewer (classically trained Thangka Painter) and Tiffany Singh (an award-winning visual artist). This particular work of theirs is a combination of traditional Tibetan and contemporary art.
Net proceeds from the sales of “Inner World” will go to The Gaden Phodrang Foundation of the Dalai Lama (Switzerland) chosen programs: Social, Emotional and Ethical Learning (SEE Learning), an international K-12 education program and part of an academic collaboration between Emory University and His Holiness; and Mind & Life Institute, which brings science & contemplative wisdom together to better understand the mind & create positive change in the world.
To keep updated on this special project and join us with plans to celebrate His Holiness’ birthday in the coming weeks, please sign up to the newsletter here, and follow Inner World on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.
