Something different for a change. Perhaps you may want to listen to Her melodious chanting while you work on your computer. Find it very comfortable to listen to Her voice...

Ani Choying Drolma (born June 4, 1971, in Kathmandu, Nepal), also known as Choying Drolma and Ani Choying (Ani, "nun", is an honorific), is a Buddhist nun and musician from the Nagi Gompa nunnery in Nepal. She is known in Nepal and throughout the world for bringing many Tibetan Buddhist chants and feast songs to mainstream audiences.
She has a powerful and excellent vocal voice.

If humans and gods recite and hold the phrases of the Great Compassion Mantra, then when they approach the end of life, all the Buddhas of the ten directions will come to take them by the hand to rebirth in whatever Buddha land they wish, according to their desire.
People and gods who recite and hold the Great Compassion Mantra will obtain fifteen kinds of good birth and will not suffer fifteen kinds of bad death. Those who recite and hold the spiritual Mantra of Great Compassion will not suffer any of these fifteen kinds of bad death and will obtain the following fifteen kinds of good birth:

1. Their place of birth will always have a good king
2. They will always be born in a good country
3. They will always be born at a good time
4. They will always meet good friends
5. The organs of their body will always be complete
6. Their heart will be pure and full in the way
7. They will not violate the prohibitive precepts
8. Their family will be kind and harmonious
9. They will always have the necessary wealth and goods in abundance
10. They will always obtain the respect and help of others
11. Their richness will not be plundered
12. They will obtain everything they seek
13. Dragons, gods, and good spirits will always protect them
14. In the place where they are born they will see the Buddha and hear the Dharma
15. They will awaken to the profound meaning of that Proper Dharma which they hear.

List of avoidance of bad death :-

1. They will neither die of starvation or privation
2. They will not die from having been yoked, imprisoned, caned or otherwise beaten
3. They will not die at the hands of hostile enemies
4. They will not be killed in military battle
5. They will not be killed by tigers, wolves, or other evil beasts
6. They will not die from the venom of poisonous snakes, black serpents, or scorpions
7. They will not drown or be burned to death
8. They will not be poisoned to death
9. They will not die as a result of sorcery
10. They will not die of madness or insanity
11. They will not be killed by landslides or falling trees
12. They will not die of nightmares sent by evil people
13. They will not be killed by deviant spirits or evil ghosts
14. They will not die of evil illnesses which bind the body
15. They will not commit suicide

wow! her voice is really stunning!! I have heard some said that we should not sing the chanting, but I feel it is OK, and I like it that is another way to draw people to understand Buddhism. Just like nice drawings of Buddha will attract people to Buddhism.

There are quite a few hong kong singers who have sung or chanted mantras which are absolutely stunning. Hope that Ani Choying Drolma will have more albums and "songs"!!

Great Compassion is the path of the Mahayana and without Great Compassion one cannot become a fully enlightened Buddha. Chanting the Great Compassion mantra with at least contrived mind to boddhicitta, once create the cause via the generation or the positive force of merits to connect with all sentient beings in a positive manner and since this is way and qualities of the Buddhas we similarly generate the cause to become a Buddha. It is said only through great compassion can one become a Buddha. There is no other way.

Ani Choying Drolma's singing is well known and highly respected by sangha and the lay. Her melodious voice must be gifted from past lives of devoting "speech" to benefit others. Chanting mantras does not equate to just "singing" for the sake of singing with a good voice. Her voice is powerful, strong, melodious with soothing sound, just like singing birds in the nature. Her voice penetrates the mind and affect our consciousness. Her motivation shines through her voice. That's why we continue to be inspired by her skill.
