Tibet and The Plains of North America. Two cultures that were genocided and occupied by foreign aggressors. Nawang Khechog (Tibet) and R. Carlos Nakai (Navaho-Ute) blending musical traditions from both seamlessly. Listening to this is like swimming in Light. Thank you to them both for their collaboration. Such heart and presence, rings out and stirs resonance in my own awareness... such a gift! thank you gentle men.
This is one of the most amazing, powerful music on Earth. I have been listening to it for at least for years but could find here only today. Who is that amazing lady singing like an angel?
I am so happy to find this magnificent album here on RU-vid...I have it on a cassette tape, with no player, and I have really missed hearing it. It's wonderful. At one time in my life, this beautiful music helped me to maintain my sanity.
May the joyful resonance of this heart help reach many people....sincere and grateful thanks from my heart to yours and all ears and hearts across the listening sphere....Happy Monday...Soha X
Tear the mists, The sky is bright And Aeolus releases The fearful band. The winds whine, The boatman stirs. Geschwinde! Geschwinde! The wave divides The distance is approaching; I can already see the country
*I've no idea what this song is about, however, I listen to this one every night before going to sleep; doing this for last, exactly 29 days. Whoever reading this comment, if you know the meaning of this song then do give me a reply here, please. I really want to know, what's the meaning of this one.*
That guys was changing the prayer in Tibetan dialect. As said it's heart sutra, (from Sanskrit)translation should sound like this. THE HEART OF THE PERFECTION OF WISDOM SUTRA (Ârya-bhagavatî-prajñâpâramitâ-hridaya-sûtra) Thus did I hear at one time. The Bhagavan was dwelling on Mass of Vultures Mountain in Rajagriha together with a great community of monks and a great community of bodhisattvas. At that time, the Bhagavan was absorbed in the concentration on the categories of phenomena called “Profound Perception.” Also, at that time, the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvara looked upon the very practice of the profound perfection of wisdom and beheld those five aggregates also as empty of inherent nature. Then, through the power of Buddha, the venerable Shariputra said this to the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvara: “How should any son of the lineage train who wishes to practice the activity of the profound perfection of wisdom?” He said that and the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvara said this to the venerable Sharadvatiputra. “Shariputra, any son of the lineage or daughter of the lineage who wishes to practice the activity of the profound perfection of wisdom should look upon it like this, correctly and repeatedly beholding those five aggregates also as empty of inherent nature. “Form is empty. Emptiness is form. Emptiness is not other than form; form is also not other than emptiness. In the same way, feeling, discrimination, compositional factors, and consciousness are empty. “Shariputra, likewise, all phenomena are emptiness; without characteristic; unproduced, unceased; stainless, not without stain; not deficient, not fulfilled. “Shariputra, therefore, in emptiness there is no form, no feeling, no discrimination, no compositional factors, no consciousness; no eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no visual form, no sound, no odor, no taste, no object of touch, and no phenomenon. There is no eye element and so on up to and including no mind element and no mental consciousness element. There is no ignorance, no extinction of ignorance, and so on up to and including no aging and death and no extinction of aging and death. Similarly, there is no suffering, origination, cessation, and path; there is no exalted wisdom, no attainment, and also no non-attainment. “Shariputra, therefore, because there is no attainment, bodhisattvas rely on and dwell in the perfection of wisdom, the mind without obscuration and without fear. Having completely passed beyond error, they reach the end-point of nirvana. All the buddhas who dwell in the three times also manifestly, completely awaken to unsurpassable, perfect, complete enlightenment in reliance on the perfection of wisdom. “Therefore, the mantra of the perfection of wisdom, the mantra of great knowledge, the unsurpassed mantra, the mantra equal to the unequaled, the mantra that thoroughly pacifies all suffering, should be known as truth since it is not false. The mantra of the perfection of wisdom is declared: TADYATHA [OM] GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI SVAHA “Shariputra, the bodhisattva mahasattva should train in the profound perfection of wisdom like that.” Then the Bhagavan arose from that concentration and commended the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvara saying: “Well said, well said, son of the lineage, it is like that. It is like that; one should practice the profound perfection of wisdom just as you have indicated; even the tathagatas rejoice.” The Bhagavan having thus spoken, the venerable Sharadvatiputra, the bodhisattva mahasattva arya Avalokiteshvara, those surrounding in their entirety along with the world of gods, humans, asuras, and gandharvas were overjoyed and highly praised that spoken by the Bhagavan.
