This rendition of the Shakyamuni mantra came out from the meeting of three friends who had in common, deep admiration for Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, & through him for Siddhartha Gautama. Drawing inspiration from the traditional Bhutanese genre called 'Zhungdra', this recording was done in a bedroom overlooking Thimphu valley, and was powered by Bhutanese rice and chillies.

Shakyamuni Mantra: 'Zhungdra'

Some of my musical compositions. Experiencing, Evolving, Expressing.

A global cyber gathering to recite the mantra of the Shakyamuni Buddha – the one who fully embodies wisdom, love, compassion, and complete openness. Let us sing his name... Let us dance his name... And let us praise, honour and hail his name!
