Hi friends! I’m excited to share that the Dalai Lama has released his first music offering, an 11-track album of mantras and teachings set to music, and I have five free CD sets to give away to the Tiny Buddha community!

The CD set was actually released just recently on my birthday, August 28^th, after a July 6^th release on digital platforms to honor the Dalai Lama’s 85^th birthday. Upon the digital release, Inner World debuted at No.1 on Billboard’s New Age Album chart.

The set features 2 CDs in a beautiful, case-bound, hardcover package, along with a 28-page booklet with stunning artwork and explanations of the mantras and their benefits.

CD 1 is the standard Inner World album while CD 2 features a disc of album instrumentals.

“The messages couldn’t be more poignant for our current social climate and needs as humanity.” ~USA Today

“A genuinely enjoyable, enriching experience…” ~Clash

“Fusing music with Buddhist chants, His Holiness uses his resounding voice as an instrument, reciting traditional Tibetan Buddhist prayers and presenting teachings on issues close to his heart.” ~Tricycle

About Inner World

The origins of Inner World began in 2015, when one of the project’s co-executive producers and a longtime student of The Dalai Lama, Junelle Kunin, wrote to him requesting his participation. She felt that an album by such a compassionate and wise being would help people who struggle with emotional stress. And he agreed.

She and her husband, Abraham Kunin, spent the next five years working with a small team to bring the project to life.

The Dalai Lama’s recordings have been thread through music composed by Abraham and performed on thirty-plus instruments by himself and a cast of collaborators from around the world. The composer integrated the live performances with artful programming and production, building a peaceful bedrock for these sacred offerings.

Net proceeds from the sales of Inner World will go to The Gaden Phodrang Foundation of the Dalai Lama, chosen program: Social, Emotional, and Ethical Learning, an international K-12 education program.
