Recognized by HH Penor Rinpoche, HH Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche and Dzongang Rinpoche, eminent Buddhist masters of this time, Jetsunma has been called a great Bodhisattva by her teachers and many Tibetan masters who have taught at her temple over the years. According to tradition, Dakinis, or female wisdom beings, bring the wisdom of the Buddha to new lands through spontaneous teaching and song. Jetsunma has taught just such a treasury for over two decades. Her engaging style skillfully distills the vast wisdom of the Buddha, helping people to bring real compassion into their everyday lives. Her songs and prayers serve as an inspiration and a blessing to all who hear them. These records came about with Jetsunma looking for a method to take her message of compassion to as many beings as could be reached in these dark times.Jetsunma hopes to return purpose, and meaning of a higher nature, to the urban music scene. Mixing passionate pro-peace statements with the blessings of mantra and spiritual depth, this CD brings dance to Dharma, realization to the radio waves, and illumination to your iPod.
