<strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Chants</strong> <strong>—</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Nuns</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Gyantse</strong><br />

From the Sound Healing Foundation, led by Tom Kenyon<br />

Welcome to the tapestry <strong>of</strong> sacred sounds woven by the nuns <strong>of</strong> <strong>Gyantse</strong>. Recorded live in the<br />

nunnery, you will hear natural sounds in the environment during the rituals. Some sounds could<br />

not be removed, so they were left as part <strong>of</strong> the experience. In Tibet <strong>—</strong> all life is seen as sacred.<br />

You will hear the sounds <strong>of</strong> others in the nunnery <strong>—</strong> pilgrims making their own prayers, ancient<br />

doors opening and closing, a bird in the rafters.<br />

Most <strong>of</strong> us are familiar with the Tibetan Monks and their chants <strong>—</strong> come to find out, the women<br />

<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Gyantse</strong> Nunnery have their own sound. <strong>The</strong> Sound Healing Foundation is proud to<br />

present the nuns <strong>of</strong> Lhatse Ani Gompa, raising their voices in sacred chants that are pr<strong>of</strong>oundly<br />

transformative and healing. Recorded live in Tibet by Tom Kenyon and Judy Sion, this 2-CD set<br />

is filled with frequencies that transmute negativity, raise consciousness, inspire peace,<br />

magnetize all that is good, and <strong>of</strong>fer praise for all life, everywhere. Played anytime, these<br />

vibrations seem to alter one's perception <strong>of</strong> self and induce an atmosphere <strong>of</strong> calm and serenity.<br />

With the divine feminine beginning to reawaken it is fitting that the nuns have found a way to let<br />

their voices be heard beyond the walls <strong>of</strong> the nunnery for the first time in history. This recording<br />

is a unique milestone <strong>—</strong> and we can thank Tom and Judy for their efforts to include the female<br />

vibration in the spiritual equation. If sacred sound is something that you use to remind your self<br />

<strong>of</strong> the God within, the chants <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Gyantse</strong> <strong>Nuns</strong> will definitely enhance your connection to<br />

your own divinity.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sound Healing Foundation is proud to present the nuns <strong>of</strong> Lhatse Ani Gompa<br />

(<strong>Gyantse</strong> Nunnery) recorded live in Tibet. This CD is the first in a series with proceeds<br />

directly benefiting the nunneries.<br />

Unheard until now, this is an effort toward bringing the sounds <strong>of</strong> the nuns, the women,<br />

to a place <strong>of</strong> equality. Like golden spirals <strong>of</strong> sound, the chantings <strong>of</strong> the nuns are deeply<br />

evocative, pr<strong>of</strong>oundly transformative and healing.

<strong>The</strong> worship service <strong>of</strong> the Gods, with horns, drums and voice. This invokes the great<br />

teacher, asking for the removal <strong>of</strong> negativity, ignorance, unconsciousness, disrespect,<br />

and the excess <strong>of</strong> delusion. <strong>The</strong>se are prayers for peace in all realms and peace for all<br />

sentient beings.<br />

CD - 2 Green Tara Puja - <strong>The</strong> Tara Ceremony 35:41<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ani las chant an imagined mandala <strong>of</strong>fering flowers, incense, butter lamps, food,<br />

music, precious jewels, beautiful skies, and clear peaceful waters to Tara. Born from a<br />

holy lotus, Green Tara is the Victorious Lady <strong>of</strong> Compassion, the Swift Protector, the<br />

savioress who banishes fear, <strong>of</strong>fers relief from bad karma and is praised by all spirits.<br />

She alone has the power to command the guardians <strong>of</strong> the foundation <strong>of</strong> the universe.<br />
