Tara Mantras

S. F. Herald, December, 2000
"Tara mantras" is a truly inspired recording. Well suited as meditative background music or for the serious Tibetan Buddhist practitioner.

Product Description
"Tara Mantras" contains the essential chants to the deity of Tara, in her Green and White emanations, chanted by H. E. Dagmo Jamyang Sakya with Lama Nyima Gejie. They were digitally recorded in Santa Monica, CA by David V. Gregoli for Dharmapala Records. The CD can be used as an aid to the Tara practice or to create a meditative mood.

Dagmo Jamyang Sakya, considered by many to be an emanation of Tara, is one of the few women Tibetan Buddhist lamas, very rare and precious.

She is the wife of H.H. Jigdal Dagchen Sakya, who is a lineage holder of Sakya, one of the four sects of Tibetan Buddhism. His father was Trichen Ngawang Thuptop Wangchuk, the last great throne-holder in Sakya, Tibet.

The deity Tara is the female emanation of the Buddha of Compassion who chooses forever to reincarnate as a woman. She is the Mother of All Buddhas.

All profits from this CD go to The Mother Tara Sakya Center or 'Tara-Ling'. This is a non-sectarian, non-profit Tibetan Buddhist Center whose mission is to preserve and teach Tibetan culture and philosophy to all who are interested, through the message of Tara.

Mantra and Self-understanding.......2005-06-12

Mantra is a tool to connect with subtle vibrations that transform our minds/hearts into purified existence. The mantra avialable on this recording can help you in that direction. Green Tara mantra is usefull for all kinds of healing, be it personal afflictions, addictions, vices etc.. The Vajrasattva Mantra is for purification and resolution of past karma.

This is not music, this is prayer. Her voice on the recording is full of clarity and innocence, and this is passed along to the one listening to this chanting.

I work in a spiritual bookstore and have listed to hundreds of "mantra" cd's. This is of the highest quality and sincerity of heart that you can possibly find.

A very beautiful recording.......2004-05-29

I just want to say that dispite the negative review, this is a very worthwhile recording. However, it is NOT a recording of the deep overtone chanting style made famous by the Gyoto and Drepung Losling monasteries. Instead, this is a very bare-bones recording of chanting, very similar to what I have experienced when doing Tibetan Buddhist practice with my lamas. Both styles of chanting have their qualities... but I could see how one might be dissappointed with this recording if you're expecting the former!

For Nyima Gejie fans only!.......2003-10-26

If you're looking to expand your practice with an inspirational rendition of the mantras keep looking(or try Mantras fro Tibet OM TARA By Sarva-Antah). I was hoping this CD would strengthen my practice by inspiring me through an appreciatiion and celebration of the beauty of harmony and the human voice. Though this CD is a very heartfelt repetition, it's musically quite painful.

Deep Heart Song.......2002-02-17

This is a deeply centering experience. Prayer from the ancient soul. Listening to this CD brings me into a state of peace and meditation. Music like this is not easily available on CD and it's very valuable in these times. Highly recommended for yoga, meditation, relaxation, and prayer.
Great production.

Please don't pass these jingles off as being authentic.......2005-08-08

This is not what it is made out to be. It is not from Tibet. For one thing, you can recognize the American accents of the singers, and for another, they are not even using the Tibetan name for Tara - Drolma. This is just some people who know three chords, got a flute player, and wrote a simple jingle that sounds like an old fuzzy-feeling around-the-campfire jingle for kids, and had a go of it.

I am reminded of how, back in the late sixties, my girlfriend, Shelly, went off to San Francisco and I was told that she had joined the Hari Krishna's. A buddy of mine remembered how it was when "Baba Gee" (as in "Gee whiz!") first came to town and his followers shlepped him around Golden Gate Park in a sedan chair! Yes, but let me take you back to Shelly, and how I found her there on Haight Street handing out rice balls from a paper plate, dressed in her sapphron robes, and how she took me over to their temple a couple of blocks away. And there were two guys in *their* sapphron robes discussing the fine points of what was supposed to pass for Hindu mysticism in these affected East Indian accents! Yes, when they achieved enlightenment, they suddenly began talking like those guys who do the telemarketing from India these days - you know the ones?

Well, to get to the point, that is what this music reminds me of. Did you know that you can get CD's of REAL Tibetan monks and nuns singing REAL mantras and such? It sure sounds a lot different than this thing, I am here to tell you! This is the same chord progression as that big hit among the Saphron robe wearing people we all knew and loved back in the waning days of the glory that was Haight-Ashbury - "Hari Krishna". Like a cheesy chord progression, things come full circle. Is that profound? Or what?!

MADE MY HEART MELT.......2004-01-02

When I heard this recording, it touched me so profoundly that I had tears in my eyes - I was melting inside and out. I found it powerful, purifying and extremely uplifting. It is definitely one of my favorite CDs.

Tara loves it........2002-02-21

This cd contains only the mantra "Om Tara Tutare ture swaha" first slow and rythmic then slightly more lively and then ecstatic. It is a good cd for doing healing work to. I bought this CD on Amazon for a friend who had lost her Green Tara Tankha. She had purchased her tankha auspiciously in India and lost it during a move. We loved the three variations of mood presented on this CD and low an behold if her tankha did not appear a few months later in plain view in her closet.
