Not that I understand the meaning of the chants but for the vibrations of the music, I use it for my meditative practices.

(And Chants of Buddha didn’t make my meditation any little less with its alleged mispronunciation.)</p> <p>Craig Pruess, the commenter says, should have practiced proper pronunciation before composing this album. After reading that comment, I wanted to listen to some original Tibetan chanting of the same mantra and I purchased Tibetan Incantations. While I cannot like Craig Pruess’s composition any less, I had to accept the fact that I began to like the chanting of Om Mani Padme Hum (the alternate version) in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tibetan-Incantations-Various-Artists/dp/B00000JB12/?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=zormed-20&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creativeASIN=B00000JB12">Tibetan Incantations</a> more. I cannot identify if my liking has anything to do with the proper pronunciation. But certainly, I like the Tibetian Incantations. It’s plain classical chanting of mantras.</p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.newagevibe.com">New Age Vibe</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.newagevibe.com/2007/11/alleged-mispronunciation-by-craig-pruess/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Chants of Buddha &#124; Craig Pruess</title> <link>http://www.newagevibe.com/2007/11/chants-of-buddha-craig-pruess/</link> <comments>http://www.newagevibe.com/2007/11/chants-of-buddha-craig-pruess/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 15 Nov 2007 08:32:50 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Craig Pruess]]></category> <category><![CDATA[New Age]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.newagevibe.com/chants-of-buddha-craig-pruess/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Turya by Al Gromer Khan is very meditative and I have discussed the same in my last post and the last but one.

It’s an album that I listen to for years and find it most meditative. The album contains four tracks, all of which are sacred chants for Gautama the Buddha. The track Buddham Shranam Gachami is my favorite track. It’s both mixture of a slow beat and a fast beat music. I recommend this album for my midos for a meditative experience.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000TAPRO?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=zormed-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0000TAPRO">Buy Sacred Chants of Buddha</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=zormed-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0000TAPRO" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important" border="0" width="1" height="1" /></p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.newagevibe.com">New Age Vibe</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.newagevibe.com/2007/11/chants-of-buddha-craig-pruess/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
