Lama Chöpa - A Buddhist Tantric Celebration    

The Lama Chöpa is is perhaps the singularly most popular piece 
of sacred music Central Asia. Many monks and nuns use it as a 
daily chanting in their meditations; whole monasteries perform 
it communally on the tenth and twenty-fifth days of every month; 
and as a practice for special occasions, it is often used as a 
piece to be chanted at the time of the death of a family member 
or loved one. Today the Lama Chöpa is even more popular than ever, 
serving as a symbol of the endangered Tibetan civilization.  
 


LAMA CHOPA: A Buddhist Tantric Celebration
by the monks of Drepung Loseling Monastery 

Monks of Drepung Loseling Monastery based in Atlanta recorded these 
sacred chants. These selections are clear and the studio quality is 
excellent. Although the Lama Chopa is a single piece, it is comprised 
of 14 sections. It begins with arousing the inner meditative mind of 
the performer and the invocation of the forces of goodness from the 
ten directions. It then goes on through the stages of worship and 
meditaion, and eventually concludes with a dedication to world peace. 
This ritual was written by the First Panchen Lama.
