Unaccompanied singing, Tibetan bowls, & field recordings from mountainsides & rivers high in the Himalayas. Acknowledged as a Great Master of Tibetan Buddhism, Bokar Rinpoche (1940-2004) devoted his whole life to meditation. Having fled Tibet in 1959, he lived in exile, isolated in a little monastery in the mountains. The spiritual son of Kalu Rinpoche, a close relation of the Dalia Lama and Meditation Master of the 17th Karmapa, Bokar Rinpoche was the heir and representative of an ancestral knowledge (of the Kagyu lineage) passed along from generation to generation and holding wisdom that still enlightens us today. These recordings match /guy Maezelle's film Bokar Rinpoche: Maitre de Meditation and feature sacred chants recorded by Bokar Rinpoche himself and ritual music from Mirik Monastery (Himalayan Mountains in Northern India, between Bhutan and Nepal).
