Receiving blessings and dedicating the merit to world peace and harmony The Monks of Sherab Ling Monastery Senior Chanting Masters Kalzang Yeshe • Norbu Gyaltsen Tinley Gyurme • Namgyal Chanting Masters Yeshe Gyatsal • Tsultrim Ozer • Lodro Gyaltsen Dawa • Phurpa Dorje Tenpa Dawa Rinchen • Sonam Yarphel This live recording was made during actual ceremonies and includes the natural ambient sounds of normal activity / Die vorliegende Live-Aufnahme entstand während einer regelrechten Zeremonie; deswegen sind auch die dabei üblichen Nebengeräusche zu hören / Cet enregistrement sur le vif a été effectué au cours de cérémonies courantes et comporte des bruits de fond générés par les activités normales de ces cérémonies Over many centuries, the prayer ceremonies on this CD have been performed by the Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns of the Karma Kagyu lineage, forming part of the foundation of their daily lives. These ceremonies originated in the great Buddhist monasteries of Tibet, and have been brought by the devoted practitioners to India, their land of refuge, where they continue this ancient tradition. The day begins with the recitation of the Lineage Prayer. This pays respect to the lineage of accomplished Kagyu meditation masters such as the great Buddhist Mahasiddha Tilopa, the scholar Naropa from the famed Nalanda University and Marpa the great translator. It recognises the line of renowned Kagyu practitioners dating as far back as the 7th century through to the present day and His Holiness XVII Gyalwa Karmapa, Urgyen Trinley Dorje. In the evening, the Mahakala practice is part of the completion of the day, asking for purification and dedicating the blessings to all sentient beings. Apart from the time each day that is dedicated to prayer, the monks learn the ritual life of the monastery through practical experience, including learning to play instruments, memorising texts, special chanting, making torma (offerings) and practising mudras (symbolic gestures). Prospective monks come to Sherab Ling through several ways. Many are from orphanages in the Himalayas and come to receive care and education which is freely provided. There are also refugees from Tibet, who are referred to Sherab Ling through the Tibetan Government in exile in Dharamsala, India. Some are referred from other monasteries to further their education; to join the shedra (monastic college) or the three-year retreat. Some are offered to the monastery as children by parents who have sincere faith in His Eminence Tai Situ Rinpoche and wish to offer their most precious possession, their child. When they enter the school they are given robes and receive a monastic education that includes reading and writing, and they are completely supported by the monastery for no charge. The prayer monks are comprised of monks who have completed their studies, and Lamas who have passed through the three year retreat. They are responsible for the daily, monthly and annual prayers in the temple, as well as any special prayers that are requested. In Tibet, the seat of His Eminence Tai Situ Rinpoche is the great Palpung Monastery. Sherab Ling (Land of Wisdom) Monastery is his seat in exile. It is nestled in the gentle pine forested foothills of the Kangra Valley. The sound of the monks’ prayers resound in the clear mountain air. The monastery is blessed with an ideal environment for religious study and practice. The surrounding thirty acres of land are shaped by three south sloping ridges. Only one road runs through the valley to the monastery, but there are also natural footpaths and tracks that wind around through the forest. The development of the monastery has been planned to conform to the natural environment so as not to harm the growth of the native trees and plants. The lineage of His Eminence Tai Situ Rinpoche can be traced back to the 6th and 7th centuries in India to the Mahasiddha Dronpe Heruka, and to 1012 in Tibet to Marpa Lotsawa. The first Tai Situpa was Drogon Rongchenpa in 1110. This is a direct lineage that continues through to the present day. H. E. Tai Situ Rinpoche is a leading Tibetan Buddhist teacher and a campaigner for active peace. He is also an artist, poet, author, architect and geomancer (practitioner of natural balance and ecology). He will be the 5th Buddha, Maitreya, predicted by Buddha Shakyamuni in the Samadha-ya Raja Sutra. The Instruments In this recording there are many of the traditional instruments that the Tibetan monks and nuns learn during their studies at the monastery or nunnery: The Nga Chin is the massive temple drum, played with two padded drumsticks, producing an impressive sonority that echoes around the Gompa (temple). The Gyaling is similar to an oboe, with a reed that sits in the mouth. It is blown continuously using the circular breathing technique of forcing breath out with the cheeks while breathing in through the nose at the same time. This is an exceptionally difficult instrument to master. The Radung are long horns, similar to alpine horns with no valves. These are usually about 6 feet (1.8m) in length, but can be as long as 10 feet (3m). The longer the horn, the more difficult it is to play, as it requires much breath. The musicians must become adept at the circular breathing technique in order to hold the notes for extended periods of time. The Kungling is a valveless trumpet also played by the Gyaling players. The Sil-Nyen and Rol-Mo are the flat and bulbous cymbals which accompany the prayer chants. They are played primarily during the intervals in the prayer sessions, building to a crescendo before the chanting resumes.

Donovan - Universal Soldier
Uploaded on Jan 25, 2009
Written in the early 1960s by Canadian Buffy Sainte-Marie, Universal Soldier is commonly interpreted as being written in response to the war in Vietnam, it was actually penned before the first US combat troops arrived there. It gained popularity after being released by Scottish folk artist Donovan in 1965. It did well in Britain, where it was first released, reaching number five on the singles charts, though it fared less well in the United States.The version here appears with a photo montage, with credit to Youtube user tolka.
The Universal Soldier is an unusual war-protest song because it blames war not on governments, leaders or corporations, but on the individuals who accept the notion that killing solves problems and one war can end future wars. As implied by the title, Sainte-Marie makes no distinction between the soldiers of different nations, religions or ideologies: they fight for different causes but the same reasons. The song prompted a hostile response from Jan Berry of the pop duo Jan and Dean, who released The Universal Coward and turned his songwriting attention on war protesters. Some of the lyrics to Berry's song include:
He's a pacifist, an extremist, a Communist or just a Yank
A demonstrator, an agitator, or just a knave
A conscientious objector, a fanatic, a defector
And he doesn't know he's digging his own grave
He's the universal coward and he runs from anything
From a giant to a human to an elf
He runs from Uncle Sam and he runs from Vietnam
But most of all he's running from himself

Donovan_ Mellow Yellow (1967) full album
Published on Sep 10, 2013
Mellow Yellow is the fourth album from British singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released in the US in March 1967 but not released in the UK because of a continuing contractual dispute.
Side one1."Mellow Yellow" -- 3:47
2."Writer in the Sun" -- 4:33+
3."Sand and Foam" -- 3:19
4."The Observation" -- 2:23
5."Bleak City Woman" -- 2:24
Side two1."House of Jansch" -- 2:43
2."Young Girl Blues" -- 3:45
3."Museum" -- 2:54
4."Hampstead Incident" -- 4:41+
5."Sunny South Kensington" -- 3:48+
There is a later cd release with a shed load of bonus tracks on it but this is just the orininal 67 release. I have seen Donovan quite a few times and His voice is a tad too heavy on the vibrato these days but still excellent, He did the sunshine superman in full with a full orchestra at the royal albert hall a few years ago and that was mind blowing very strangely I had owned the album for years and never realised it was fully orchestrated so to see it as it was recorded was a real eye opener. I think there are a few other albums not yet uploaded in full so I will try and get them up too, check my original channel (tony peacock) I put hurdy gurdy man on that before it was restricted.
My favourite piece of Donovan trivia is the song "Fat Angel" that contains the line "Fly Jefferson Airplane" it turns out the line was sung about a dog in the studio called Jefferson airplane and not the band. which is strange considering I got into Donovan by noticing that fat angel was written by him on the back of the JA lp lol :)
Enjoy!

Sunshine Superman- Donovan
Uploaded on Jun 19, 2007
Sue Lyon came into Donovan's life at the end of 1965. This was two or three years before he met his "Jennifer Juniper" (Jenny Boyd). Lyon had starred in "Lolita" and "Night of the Iguana" before meeting Donovan. The couple dated until 1967 when Sue ended the relationship abruptly. Donovan had evidently slipped LSD in Sue's and her friend's drinking cup at a party. Sue described her trip as "frightening and disturbing" and she "felt her self-control disintegrating". After this incident Lyon never spoke to Donovan again until 1975. The two are now good friends and Sue attended Ione Skye's (Donovan's daughter) marriage to King Ad-Rock (with the Beastie Boys)
Seriously considering Donovan's conquests- Jenny Boyd, Linda Lawrence, Enid (I forgot her last name) and now this chick!- Donovan was one chick magnet.

Chet Baker - Almost blue
Uploaded on Jan 6, 2009
Amazing Jazz song Almost Blue by Chet Baker / Composed by Costello
Lyrics : Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost all the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue
It's almost touching it will almost do
There's a part of me that's always true...always
Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few
I've seen such an unhappy couple
ALMOST Me/You/Blue

Lyrics:
I grow cold, Igrow weary
And I know I have sinned
And I go, seeking shelter
And I cry in the wind
Although I grope and I blunder
And I'm weak and I'm wrong
Though the road buckles under
Where I walk, walk along
Till I find to my wonder
Every path leads to Thee
All that I can do is pray
Stay with me
Stay with me
