Today we’re delighted to present two new pieces of Buddhist-inspired music to sample on-line or download, and both by Triratna musicians. Lorna Reay, from Cambridge UK, writes to say “I've made a CD of my own setting of the Sevenfold Puja, Shantideva’s classic Buddhist sacred text used in Triratna. I use vocals, Flute, Guzheng, Piano, Koto, Cello, Violins, and Tibetan Singing bowls. You can listen to samples of all the tracks on-line or download the complete album for $9.99. £1 from each sale goes to Karuna, the Buddhist charity dedicated to helping some of India’s most disadvantaged people".

Meanwhile, down in Brighton UK, Mahãsukha has been working on his long-awaited album ‘Longing’, an online album of soulful mantras. In the making for some time, it's now 'complete' with the addition of a 2nd Padmasambhava mantra (the Vajra Guru mantra). You can also listen to clips online or download it - enjoy!

Mahãsukha will be running singing and mantra workshops at this year's Triratna International Retreat at Taraloka in June, and, as usual, running workshops at this year's http://www.buddhafield.com/index.php?festival=about">Buddhafield Festival in July. He’s available to lead Soulful Singing and/or Beauty of Mantra workshops at Centres, on retreats, in corporate business, in schools etc. For further information you can email Mahasukha. Lorna’s website contains introductions to her many other interests - Teaching, Songs, Instrumentals, Poetry, Paintings, and Books.

Many other Triratna members have their own websites, and you’ll find many of them on the Triratna People website.
