Saturday night we went to a Tantric chant concert with our great friends Lynn and Gene. It was performed by a group of Gyuto Tibetan monks, and was completely fascinating and meditative. Where this sound comes from within each of the monks I do not know. It's a very deep chant from within them. To quote their website "The monks of Gyuto have perfected a special type of chant in which each monk sings not a single note but an entire chord. “This remarkable, transcendentally beautiful sound,” notes Robert Thurman, Chair of the Dept. of Religion, Columbia University, “is thought to arise only from the throat of a person who has realized selfless wisdom.”" Check out their website here
