Thank you for posting this totally uplifting film with its spiritual strength. I really appreciate your allowing the video response too...also the Tashi Lhunpo monks.
Wow, I went into a meditation for a few minutes whilst the music played, I was high in the hills looking down on the clouds, vultures were circling me, two lifted me up & we flew away, shortly after I was flying myself, a powerful bird, quiet & surrene looking down on the world below.
I can't get enough of them! Please post more! And thank you!! I LOVE THEM- and TIBET. Please free Tibet from Chinese rule- they are an important loving culture and must maintain their identity
I sang like this once for my roommate in college while he was taking psychadelic mushrooms. He thought I was a bear that was going to eat him. It was glorious.
@naamaruupa Thank you for pointing to the Gitassara Sutra. In it the Buddha does explain the five dangers of reciting the Dharma with a musical intonation. The Buddha explains the dangers, i.e. feeding attachment to beautiful sounds (this too keeps one bound to compulsive rebirth), irritating householders, etc. The Buddha(s) never condemn anybody who chants with a musical intonation though, or anybody anyway. They are ingenious scientists of how the mind works. May All Beings Be Happy!
that's awesome..would be nice to organise a concert where the representatives from every(that tech peace and compassion) religion would do their performance ;)
@juandey Kind of like being baptised at birth, Religion is always spread to the young no matter the type of religion. I think all religions have something to offer and all are subject to criticism and negative view points.
Beautiful and powerful sacred chanting, although the monks would be normaly seated. Harmonizes the vibs and opens some of the psico-spiritaul chanels. Omm
Very beautiful.Would love to see them turn the 'wheels of live as well.It's really a shame that China invaded the peaceful nation of Tibet back in 59'.Free Tibet forever.
"It's insane, because they train there entire lives just to sing like this and worship. Especially for the really low throat singers they begin at a very young age to develop their voice into this phenomenon" you really don't know much about it then eh? It's about learning to relax and use a part of your throat, definitly not a lifetime, takes a week or 2 to learn how to do it...and maybe a few years to master.. The fact they sing in chorus with each other is what makes it sound interesting..
@JinnaMaghan I don't know about that. The Buddha didn't teach Buddhism, he taught Dharma. Dharma is not a religion. It transcends religious philosophy and ideology. Practicing mindfulness is what the Buddha stressed. In that mindful awareness one can see how labeling others based on their belief (even calling oneself a Buddhist) can cause thoughts of division and separation. Ideas like, my religion vs your religion. My belief in god vs your belief in no god.
Two things you got wrong there. First, Buddha himself never explained "god". Also, when Buddha refers to "god" he refers to human conscious. And this is clearly explained in the most traditional buddhism forms, Vajrayana and Mahayana. Also, I believe the Zen school follows the same thinking. Now, second. How did Adam and Eve betrayed god, exactly? Didn't god create the paradise for them to live in? Didn't he created the forbidden tree in the first place?
The world was without suffering and would of stayed that way if Adam and Eve had not betrayed God by eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He sacrificed His only Son so that we may have eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. If your a child of God the suffering ends when your life on Earth is over.
The dammapada clearly says that enlightment is the way to end suffering. This has nothing to do with whether there's a god or there isn't. However, eastern philosophy(this includes buddhism, tantric, jainism, etc) do believe that "god" is a state of perfect balance between mind, body and soul. It's an upper state of consciousness. As if all of us were sleeping gods just waiting to be awekened. Buddha says this, also Hinduism and Jainism. Western philosophy clearly states the opposite.
I'd agree if by atheist we mean he was denying the personal God of monotheistic abrahamic religions. but if you just label him an atheist, the complexity of the buddhist insight is entirely lost. the point of denying god wasn't an end in itself, but a means of ending suffering and realizing the ultimate.
the thing is, what he was denying was conceptual models of God, not God as undifferentiated Ground of Reality, Emptiness, Nirvana. to call him an atheist seems to be powerfully misleading, since it puts him in the ranks of those who deny this absolute. he was emphasizing how talking about this ultimate, thinking about it, etc... all of that is just leading you away from experiencing this enlightenment.
Christian God controls humanity with fear. He speaks about hell, death, fear, sodomy, lies, torture... It's like this. You're at your new job. Your boss is called God, if you do anything wrong, not only you're fired but you're also dead and will suffer for eternity. IMHO this is not a good boss. Now, buddhism encourages learning, studying, asking questions, works with science very well, to not accept anything on blind faith. Guess what? With this reasonable philosophy, I can get along.
Yeah, i go by the definition of Religion which is used "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods". Considering this, Buddhism is not a religion. SO it confuses me why other people consider it a Religion, but i suppose they use a different definition like "devoted worship to something", but that seems like a nonsensical definition to me, because you can essentially devote yourself strongly to anything. That's not religion.
the devotion in buddhism is different from materialistic devotions like that to a football team or things like that. it may not fit the close minded typical definition of religion, but all religion is, is a belief system which people practice and hold with more importance than other things they believe. i think it doesnt matter if its devotion to worshipping god, or devotion to becoming one with the universe or whatever the heck else. people can believe what they want.
The Buddha was not athiest he found enlightenment! Unless you search for it you will run in a cycle! Im stupid, im half smart, im smarter, im dumb again. When you find it you will know!
That is a very ignorant view. You should really take a class on Buddhism or read a book on Buddhist beliefs before saying such things as if they are fact. Buddhist don't concern themselves with if there is a God or not, they simply aim to end human suffering by teaching others the skills to reach enlightenment.
omm. thanks so much. i just made alot of changes in my life and the buddha is with me all the way. free tibet . lets all pray for tibet and the llama.

I think it is awesome if you close your eyes and let the music flow through your body it feels like it clenses you
this is very peaceful when i hear this i feel my mum around me sharing this feeling with me.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing it.
God-LIKE ! Beautiful.
I Love this sound full of overtones!
I can't get enough of them! Please post more! And thank you!! I LOVE THEM- and TIBET. Please free Tibet from Chinese rule- they are an important loving culture and must maintain their identity
Blessings of the Infinite Creator upon the earth!
i love that i found a live sounding version ~ :o)
With Love and Light...
Thank you
i remember seeing monks sing when i was little and it was in like a rather echoe wooden room and the noises were cool
Remember the freedom tibet once had!!!
Thank you for this.
@Bhikshu2 I long for that journey...
I sang like this once for my roommate in college while he was taking psychadelic mushrooms.

This is so beautiful wow very mind blowing.
props dawg
that's awesome..would be nice to organise a concert where the representatives from every(that tech peace and compassion) religion would do their performance ;)
It's a traditional Tibetan chant called, "When you go to the store, don't forget the milk"
@ruzickaw "Tibetan buddhism becomes a show business"
hopefully everyone attains blessings :)
brain is the most important part in human body
How can the cup be both empty and full? We are everything - and at the same time - we are nothing.
This is a pure religion staff.

Buddhism is generally considered to be not atheistic but agnostic, in that, the Buddha himself did not deny the existence of God.
Very beautiful.Would love to see them turn the 'wheels of live as well.It's really a shame that China invaded the peaceful nation of Tibet back in 59'.Free Tibet forever.
HH Dalai Lama says Christians have the best music.
I think I agree with him.
@CartierXTRA ..I am sorry for your blindness!
They believe that everything is connected to everything. That is, if I'm not mistaken.
@Bhikshu2 That's So Friggin' Funny!!! LMAO
"It's insane, because they train there entire lives just to sing like this and worship. Especially for the really low throat singers they begin at a very young age to develop their voice into this phenomenon"

@dundu24c And which reality are you in? ;)
What are the rituals taking place during the chanting and what meaning do they have?
There is only one religion but hundreds of variations of it. I wish I could remember who said that.
@JinnaMaghan I don't know about that. The Buddha didn't teach Buddhism, he taught Dharma. Dharma is not a religion. It transcends religious philosophy and ideology. Practicing mindfulness is what the Buddha stressed.

name of the piece?
Did you finish all of him, or did you have some left over?
so, tibetan buddhism becomes a show business. I am sure, everybody in the audience fully understands what the monks are chanting.
Two things you got wrong there. First, Buddha himself never explained "god". Also, when Buddha refers to "god" he refers to human conscious. And this is clearly explained in the most traditional buddhism forms, Vajrayana and Mahayana. Also, I believe the Zen school follows the same thinking.

He sacrificed His only Son so that we may have eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. If your a child of God the suffering ends when your life on Earth is over.
Did I hear one of them say "lasagna"?
how long can you live without kidneys?
they believe that we are God's various manifestations of himself. thus, we are god, and we should act like him instead of acting like devils.
thank you allah iam muslem
The dammapada clearly says that enlightment is the way to end suffering. This has nothing to do with whether there's a god or there isn't.

Quem viu o monje dando uma catarra 3:45 da joinha ai ;)
at first i was like "koyaanisqatsi??"
there are more varieties of theism then personalistic monotheism, you know.
@Bhikshu2 HAHAHHAHAHAAAA!
There are two Buddhist sects, one atheistic and one with deities.
I'd agree if by atheist we mean he was denying the personal God of monotheistic abrahamic religions. but if you just label him an atheist, the complexity of the buddhist insight is entirely lost. the point of denying god wasn't an end in itself, but a means of ending suffering and realizing the ultimate.
buddhism is not a religion it's a way
the thing is, what he was denying was conceptual models of God, not God as undifferentiated Ground of Reality, Emptiness, Nirvana. to call him an atheist seems to be powerfully misleading, since it puts him in the ranks of those who deny this absolute. he was emphasizing how talking about this ultimate, thinking about it, etc... all of that is just leading you away from experiencing this enlightenment.
That was what Budha taught though .. He was an atheist.. Why deny that I do not know..
Christian God controls humanity with fear. He speaks about hell, death, fear, sodomy, lies, torture...
It's like this. You're at your new job. Your boss is called God, if you do anything wrong, not only you're fired but you're also dead and will suffer for eternity.
IMHO this is not a good boss.
