SACRED CHANTS OF BUDDHA is the ideal album for any listener looking to quiet their mind and open themselves to meditation. The chants, which include “Om Mani Padme Hum” and “Vajra Guru Chant,” are well annunciated and vocalized with striking clarity. The background instrumentation is composed of twinkling wind chimes, singing bowls, flutes and the sinuous swaramandala (an ancient string instrument), giving each of the four tracks an ambient quality that’s very calming and peaceful. A great album for relaxation, deep contemplation or spiritual healing.
