Dawn Till Dusk
Tashi Lhunpo Monks
30IPS TLM250489
The Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959 and the Cultural Revolution from 1966-80 wreaked destruction on many monastic institutions, and of the 6,000 monks in the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, only 250 were able to follow the Dalai Lama into exile. In 1972, under the patronage of the present Dalai Lama, Tashi Lhunpo Monastery was re-established in the southern Indian state of Karnataka.
Dawn till Dusk was recorded on location in Tashi Lhunpo’s prayer hall in Bylakuppe, and features many previously unrecorded chants and mantras from the monastery’s rich heritage, passed down over the centuries through generations of Tantric masters.
