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 28th, after a July 6th release on digital platforms to honor the Dalai Lama’s 85th 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.

Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
This would be wonderful to have.
Lori,
I echo Alejandro’s thoughts entirely!! Each morning, your posts inspire me! At night, I read aloud to my wife one day from 365 Tiny Love Challenges
One of my favorite sayings, not sure it’s truly a mantra, is:
Wake with Determination, Sleep with Satisfaction!
It is how I try to live my life every single day!!
Thanks for all you do!!
Tim Neuman
Love your website! Every morning it is like a wonderful spiritual oasis to start the day, especially during these convoluted times. And also, as a Martial Artist, it is a wonderful place to find amazing inspirational quotes. I would like to share a wonderful 5,000 year-old Buddhist meditation (That you must certainly know for sure). I taught it to my son, and we used to repeated twice a day like a mantra while walking to school and before going to bed. Nowadays we say only at night before he goes to sleep, but the meaning stays the same:
“May I be free of worry
May I be well.
May I feel free and at ease,
May I be at peace.”
All the best Lori, thank you for sharing al this wisdom with all of us, be safe and have a wonderful Labor Day weened!🙏❤️👊🥋☯️☮️🕉☸️
Best regards,
Alejandro Vargas-Lugo

What a great giveaway!
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

There is no-one whose words and voice I’d rather hear right now. Or ever but especially right now.
Be safe.
Love, Live and Let Live …
I love chants. Thanks for the giveaway. I had not heard about this release before now, sounds like an amazing project. Sat Nam – “Truth is my essence”
Just the thing I need to help me refocus in the things that truly matter.
Love the inspiration of Tiny Buddha. The timing is always perfect. The timing of Inner World is perfect too!
Great idea to bring spirit into music in a deeper way.
How fun is this! Thank you for your sweetness always! Blessings to all☀️
I’d love to win! Pick me! Pick me! However, I also know that Balance is the key. That is my theme this year! Balance is the key in everything you do, and everything that happens. Dance all night long, and practice yoga the next day. Drink wine but don’t forget your green juice. Eat chocolate when your heart wants it, and kale salad when your body needs it. Register to win the Dalai Lama CD set and hope to win. But if I don’t, someone else needs it more! Namaste! Love & Light, Sue E.
The CD set sounds amazingly beautiful and it would be a privilege to listen to it with an open soul.
I’m a HSP/Empath, and every, single day is a struggle because of the chaos, physically and socially, in society. My solution (other than over-thinking every little thing) is to be as friendly to everyone I see. It’s amazing how many people smile back, offer to hold a door open for me, all while wearing our masks.
Thank you, Lori, for offering this gift – is very timely!
May we all live long, and laugh contagiously, with a Buddha mind.🤩🥰🙏
To get something like this inspired by the Dalai Lama is an exceptional opportunity! Thank you for entering me and for this opportunity!
Thanks for this post! I look forward to hearing these CDs.💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Liberation and Love-light every single day.
Wonderful way to bring in positive language to drown out the inner critic!
I would love to win this set! I think everyone would benefit from it!
I suffer from multiple chronic illnesses (EDS, POTS, autoimmune, celiac,,,,,). I have found Eastern medicine , meditation and mindfulness have saved my life! My resting heart rate with dysautonomia was 147 BPM lying down 18 months ago. Now with all of the tools, care team and rigorous daily practice- it is in the 50-60 BPM range. After a heart embolism, I had to change my life. Wether I get this prize or not. Thank you Tiny Buddha for all your ongoing support.
To be one with yourself is to have the world at your feet. To listen to more mantras with music would be amazing.
Namaste
this is so amazing! I would love to win .
I need peace. I have fought for the last 4 years to get my stolen dogs back and was told yesterday they are dead. Every single person that was required to help failed me by refusing to do their job. The police refuse to help me the government of grand cayman the department of agriculture in Florida and grand cayman. It’s sad what this world has come to. I can’t find peace in all this. How do I live in a world where the very people who are required to protect us and our rights refuse to do so?
Reading the amazing post helps me to keep things in perspective. You do a great job with fun giveaways and feature a variety of books, pictures with inspirational sayings! Thank you! Favorite quote: Never be defined by your past. It was a lesson, not a life sentence.
What a lovely way to spend time during COVID!
I just love your site. I hope to win the CD set. Thanks,
I would love to win this set, as I’m sure we all would. However I realize that if it’s meant to be, then it’s meant to be. Or not.
One can always purchase it if they feel it’s something that would help them on this journey.
With that said, of course I’ll enter the draw, but not be attached to the outcome.
“Love is the absence of judgement…”
The amazing work of Dalai Lama is so simple…breathe…meditate…love.
I’m in need of this. As a women in recovery, fear is real. It can be overcome. I can love myself.
If i don’t win it, I’ll probably just buy it. It sounds fantastic!
Look around, I always learn something: “to be always yourself, and to express yourself, to have faith in yourself.”
I would be honored to receive a copy of the Dalai Lama’s Inner World
I would be very happy to have a copy of the Dalai Lama’s Inner World. Thank you.
I dwell in possibility ~ love that quote and would love to receive the cd set
Be patient. Good things take time.
and yes I too would like to hear this set
This sounds like a lovely match-up between the 2 mediums
I would be extremely honored to win a CD set from one of my favorite teachers.
It is what it is.
My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
I am an Empath, single parent, working from home, as well as homeschooling my 7th Grade son with ADHD. I am really struggling. I turn 45 this month. This would be an awesome gift.
This would be wonderful to win because I wouldn’t keep it, but give it to my sister.
