Like the phoenix rising out of the ashes, so too does the transcendingly pure voice of Tibet's leading female vocalist rise above the deep, repetitive chants of the Buddhist monks, gently blanketing you with her songs of devotion and love. More graceful and dynamic than the men, Yungchen (which means 'Goddess of Song') empowers her songs with such an intense spirituality that it makes you wonder why there aren't more female spiritual leaders. Born and raised in Tibet, the artist's talent and spirituality were nurtured by her mother, grandmother and aunt... at age 25, she trekked over the Himalayas from Tibet to India, to meet and be blessed by the Dalai Lama. Light some incense and listen to this 1996 recording; you may be inspired to meditate or practice your yoga. Shanti!

Lhamo,Yungchen
