Deep spirituality and compassion are at the heart of Tibetan Buddhism, and music and chant have always been, for the Buddhist, an important path to spiritual enlightenment. Rooted in the Tibetan mountains, the music on this collection is both: powerful and meditative, reflecting the ancient lifestyle of the Tibetan people.

Performers of these incantations are Song Huei Liu and Ya Ging Ging, recitated by Sheng Horng and Shen Yan, recorded in 1998.

“I first heard ‘Tibetan Incantations’ being played at my local Borders. Being a recent convert to Buddhism, I found the third track, the a cappella version of the "Om Mani Padme Hum" to be entrancing! I finally found a copy (it was out of print), and the non-traditional chants and music are intoxicating.
This has been a great help to me, in terms of relaxation and getting into meditation. Meditation is calming of the mind and spirit, and this music does not jar you or make you lose focus.”

“I lived for several years in Nepal and frequently visited on the main buddhist stupas for ceremonies at the full moon. This CD was constantly played in shops around the area and the melody used by area monasteries. One evening I sat with friends and listened for hours to child monks singing this chant on the rooftop of a nearby monastery. This melody is very popular, and although the music may sound new age to some, the instruments are sounds are those often found in traditional and folk music in Nepal and Tibet. I cannot think of the Om Mani Padme Hum chant without hearing the melody on this CD. If you dislike the instruments, the acoustic version is included as well.”

“When I visited Dharamsala in 2001 to see His Holiness the Dalai Lama, this CD was being played in every little shop on the streets. The whole town was filled with this chanting! So I bought it and have continued to enjoy listening to it almost every day. I hope the mantras will imprint themselves on my heart. I love it!”
