Ani Tsering Wangmo

If you are fan of Tibetan chants and music, you may have heard this name, Ani Tsering Wangmo (Ani is a prefix added to the name of a nun in Tibetan Buddhism). I have posted many post about another Tibetan nun Ani Choying Drolma and her Albums. this is my first post about Ani Tsering Wangmo . I thought many times, after listen her album "Alokhe", that i will also write a post about Ani Tsering Wangmo. So here is the post about her.

So lets back to Ani Tsering Wangmo, she was born in Lhasa,Tibet and became a nun at the age of twelve. She joined the Yuloko Jetsun Ling Nunnery in Yanglashöe after fleeing Tibet in 1991 and arriving in Nepal.
Upon completing the traditional three-year retreat in 1996, she began and continues to work on the Ewam Pecha (religious text) project, collecting and digitizing the pechas for Gochen Tulku Rinpoche of Ewam.

Currently, she resides at Ewam Sang-ngag Ling in Montana where she has learned English. She continues to support Rinpoche's many worldwide projects. her albums see inside..

Ani produced her first album "Turquoise Leaf" in 2000, which was recorded in the US. It was in the traditional Tibetan chant genre, and based on the Buddhist chants from nunnery. The album was well received in the US. In 2004, she recorded the "Laughter of the Dakinis", based on Longchen Nyingthig Chöe practice.
Except from this two albums, she have another six albums and all the profits made by the sale of Ani's six CDs will be donated to three causes as below. So here you can listen two Chants by her in Album "Alokhe" first song is Heart Sutra Mantra and second is Chenrezig Mantra. This song is post here only for promote her albums.
medical clinic in Tibet, The proceeds from the Immeasurable Joy, the Gyaling, and the Immeasurable Equanimity CDs are all for the benefit of a medical clinic in Tibet.

This clinic is for Tibetans who have very little money but need medical care.

The Yulokö Jetsun Ling Nunnery in Nepal, The proceeds from the CD, Compassion will go toward the Yuloko Jetsün Ling nunnery, in Nepal. This nunnery is under Gochen Tulku Rinpoche’s care. For half of each year the nuns are in solitary retreat in their rooms. For the other half of the year they study Dharma under the guidance of Rinpoche’s brother, Namchak Khenpo.

The Ewam Magadha Garden of 1000 Buddhas, The proceeds from the CD, Immeasurable Loving Kindness, will go toward the Maghada Garden. Gochen Tulku Rinpoche chose the name, "Maghada" because it is the district in India in which the holy land of Bodhgaya is located. He intends that the Magadha garden in America eventually be like a Western Bodhgaya.

At the center of the garden is a large statue of Yum Chenmo (the Great Mother) also known as Prajñaparamita. She will be surrounded by the thousand buddhas of this age. A thousand trees will be planted there, and a thousand stupas as well. They will all be arranged in the shape of a giant Dharma wheel, with many flowers, walkways, and an arched bridge. All of this is surrounded by large mountains in every direction, and the vast Montana sky, currently being built in Arlee, Montana. Her Six Albums are:
Immeasurable Joy
Immeasurable Loving Kindness
Immeasurable Compassion
Gyaling
Immeasurable Equanimity ( a traditional Dudjom Rinpoche's Thröma Nagmo)

Ani Choying Drolma

Ani choying drolma(Also pronounced as dol-ma), born to Tibetan exiles in 1971 in Nepal. Her parents had fled the Cultural Revolution in 1959.
At age 13, Ani choying entered Nagi Gompa on Shivapuri, a Buddhist nunnery on the rim of the Kathmandu Valley. The abbot of Nagi Gompa, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, an honored teacher of non-conceptual meditation, looked after Ani Choying's development and taught her to sing traditional Tibetan Cho chant.
Ani Choying Drolma is an exceptional singer, admired by fans in Nepal and throughout the world. People are moved to tears by the plaintive purity of her voice, and the haunting melodies of her ancient songs and hymes, passed from master to pupil for many centuries.

Ani Choying has always believed that nuns have a great desire and potential to make the world a better place, if only given equal opportunities. Arya Tara School, opened in 2000, aims to equip nuns to help and to serve their communities in a professional and humanitarian capacity. With a fully developed and realized potential, she believes that her nuns will be able to not only help themselves, but also to help others. In brief, Arya Tara School aims to help young nuns bring their compassion into fruition, actively, effectively, skillfully and meaningfully.
Traditionally, says Ani Choying, women’s education is neglected in Asia. “most of the girls at my nunnery are from rural areas either in Tibet, India or Nepal, patriarchal cultures where women are expected just to cook, clean and bear children. Even in the nunnery, they are taught to read classical Tibetan in order to do the religious practice, but many cannot write their own names.” Arya Tara School would educate them in Literacy, Maths, Science, Medical and Nursing skills, and Buddhist philosophy.

Her CD Recording on the names:
(1) “Cho” in 1997 for Worldwide release by an American CD company, Choying Drolma and the Nagi Nunnery Foundation sing songs and invocations of the Cho ("cutting") teachings based on the Prajnaparamita practices established by siddha Padampa Sangye and Machik Labdron. The delicate filigree of chants and supplications is beautifully and sparsely adorned by Tibbetts's treated guitars, percussion, and effects to create an otherworldly experience so alluring in its fragility it is easy to forget the strength of purpose behind these messages of generosity, loving kindness, and compassion through release of the ego. Far beyond the often superficial "new age," Cho is so rich in contemplation and spirituality that even a cursory listen can hardly fail to evoke a beneficial response, and this glorious tapestry of sound alone is enough homage to its 1,100-year legacy.Listen to samples

(2) “Dancing Dakini” in 1999, In the spring of 2000 Ani Choying's second CD was released, Sina Vodjani & Choying Drolma Dancing Dakini
(3) “Choying” in 2000,
(4) “Moments Of Bliss” in 2004
(5)"Selwa" worldwide released in USA in 2004, It's been seven years since Minnesota-born guitarist Steve Tibbetts and Chöying Drolma, a sweet-faced, crop-haired Tibetan nun, released their first collaboration, Chö. On this sophomore effort, the two have created another series of placid sonic journeys, wherein Drolma's nasal yet pristine alto-to-mezzo soars amid a restrained blend of guitar, electronica, drones, and overdubbed voices, augmented by Marc Anderson's hand-drums and occasional hints of whispery chimes touched by nothing human.
Chöying Drolma is a proponent of Vajrayana Buddhism, in which obstacles to enlightenment are proactively cut free via intense forms of meditation that can take place in graveyards and other provocative locations. No passive convent recluse, she has founded a school for nuns and continues to reach out to the world via the beauty her voice, while remaining aloof from its frenzy. The album leaves a strangely energetic peacefulness in its wake; a profound relaxation that also encourages action toward betterment. --Christina Roden
(6) “Smile” in 2005 and
(7) "Inner Peace" in 2006 is Ani Choying's sixth CD and it consists of 4 mantras sung in melody. This CD (inner peace)was made to support Nuns welfare Foundation of Nepal All of the money raised through Ani Choying's performances and record sales go directly to the Nuns Welfare Foundation.

Her songs also appeared on various albums, including “Head Massage” by Soul Flip, and the “Buddha Bar” David Visan & Mikael Winter feat Ani Choying Drolma, Song: Tantra Tibet.



Ani Choying began recording the melodious Chö songs in 1996, and the first album, Choying Drolma and Steve Tibbetts Chö, was released in 1997. In the spring of 2000 Ani Choying's second CD was released, Sina Vodjani & Choying Drolma Dancing Dakini. Immediately after this release, Ani Choying began to record her third CD, Choying, in a local Kathmandu studio. Although one hundred copied of this CD were sold in April, Choying's official release is still in the works.
Ani Choying has performed Chö in concert in both the United States, in 1998 and 1999, and in Europe, in 1999. In 2000 she has performed at festivals in both the United States and Europe.

Honey Hunters Of Nepal DVD

Twice a year, Gurung tribesmen of west-central Nepal enter the jungle in search of honey. Eric Valli and Diane Summers, freelance photojournalists, lived with the honey hunters for eight months and here document this ancient tradition.

They tell of the band of nine honey hunters, led by the 63-year-old Mani Lal whose responsibility is unique: he alone descends a bamboo ladder hundreds of feet down sheer rock faces to find the hives of giant black bees nestled on the cliff walls.

Once he discovers a nestwhich may be as large as four by six feet, he drives the bees out with smoke, and then, still suspended by the ladder over the cliff face, dislodges the hive with bamboo poles. The hive is then lowered via pulleys to the other hunters waiting below, and Mani Lal climbs on to locate another nest. recommend visit inside to see DVD and Cd about Buddhism CATALOG
This documentary DVD Include every aspect of the honey hunt; also included are portraits of the Gurung and, somewhat incongruously, pictures of hunters trapping more conventional prey antelope, deer and wolves. The Documentary, though often beautiful, are more fascinating as anthropology than as individual works of art.

Until the publication of this film, the universe of the honey hunters was totally unknown to rest of the world. now for the first time their lives are captured in film unprecedented monentes and breath taking scenes of there life.
