Album Description"Dechen's voice perfectly captures the sense of boundless compassion and serenity inherent in these prayers to Tara. Tara Devi is a musically vibrant message of inner peace, universal love, and timeless Dharma wisdom accessible to all, despite religious orientations. This CD is a perfect accompaniment to meditation practices, chanting, and inner work." -- Honey Harris, KBAC Radio "Seldom do I hear singing and music so suffused with gentle beauty and calmness as I did on Compassion. Tibetan vocalist Dechen Shak-Dagsay's songs and mantras, impeccably accompanied by flute, piano, Tibetan bowls, tambura, and subtle synthesizer textures, wrap around you like a soft blanket, comforting and imbuing you with a sense of inner peace and serenity. These songs are a spiritual oasis for our troubled souls in these perilous times, and only the most hardened of hearts will remain unaffected by this recording." -- Bill Binkelman, New Age Reporter * Tara means "The Liberator" and Devi means "Goddess." Tara Devi is considered one of the most powerful and protective female goddesses in Buddhism, and many people worship her. This meditation is a complete Sadhana for Tara, and is practiced in order to call upon her, to request her protection, and to enable us to generate her qualities in our minds.
