- Description
Music plays an integral role in Tantric Buddhism, seen as a means to transform the whole stream of being into illumined awareness. The Sangwa Düpa tantra, which is concerned with discovering the self-existing sacredness of the universe and always performed a cappella, is chanted here by 40 lamas and monks of the Gyütö Tantric College. It is paired with the Mahakala tantra, chanted with musical accompaniment by 12 lamas and monks.
