Comment:

Whether you've read Hermann Hesse's [i]Siddhartha[/i] in college or heard Alan Watts' lectures on Zen or seen a blissful, full-bellied statue of the Enlightened One in a museum or a shrine, you [i]really[/i] haven't begun to experience the Buddhist faith's profound power until you've heard its music. We'll start off in Myanmar with Baddanta Visuta Maha Gantha Vacaka Pandita, whose chant "Tisarana Vandana (The Three Refuges and Adorations)" crosses the bridge between ancient Gregorian chant and the African call-and-response folk singing that evolved into both gospel and blues. In an almost otherworldly sonic fusion of Tuvan throat singing and the rumble of a didgeridoo, Tibetan monk Lama Tashi — who's performed with the likes of Michael Stipe and Sheryl Crow — demonstrates a [i]very[/i] different chanting style in "Heart Sutra." And if your tastes move to a more modern groove, Buddha Nation quietly inhabits the space between classical reverie and ambient dream pop with their hypnotically placid "The Five Precepts." From Jean-Philippe Rykiel & Lama Gyurme to Eight Lamas From Drepung, we've got Buddhism's meditative chants, spiritual songs, and instrumental treasures from Tibet, Japan, Myanmar, China, and beyond . . . even France.
