The ancient Buddhist mantra Om Mani Padme Hum with chanting, cello, ocean waves, and wind chimes. Perfect for meditation, starting your day, or falling asleep. One translation is "the jewel of compassion in the lotus of the heart." Listen with eyes open or closed. Sing along or just listen. Sit up or lie down. The cellist is Sebastian Hess and recorded this in Munich, Germany. Sebastian is a regular soloist with orchestras around the world. The singer and composer is Jan Shé and recorded his voice in Berkeley, California. Trained in composition at Juilliard and SFCM, and having worked at the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation, Jan produces albums of meditation music. Sebastian and Jan are currently collaborating on an album of meditation music. This is the first fruit of that effort. Let us know if you have any requests for mantras you'd like to hear. Enjoy!
