Album & Accompanying Booklet to Release on July 6th, Honoring His Holiness’ 85th Birthday

“Compassion,” the first track released today, sets the tone of the album, by cultivating love and empathy for ourselves and all beings

“Music has the potential to reach many more people with the message that the real source of happiness is warm-heartedness and a concern for others” – The Dalai Lama

June 9th, 2020 – As announced today, Khandro Music will release a unique album of mantras and teachings by The Dalai Lama set to music, entitled Inner World. Released to honor his 85th birthday celebrations on July 6th, 2020, the album will be a great dedication to the decades of his vision and work for world peace and educating the heart.

When asked why he accepted the request to make the album, he answered, “The very purpose of my life
is to serve as much as I can.” He also added, “Music can help people in a way that I can’t.”

Inner World is an offering of the Dalai Lama reciting mantras and giving short teachings all woven to a bed of music (please see tracklisting below). The album will be released in conjunction with an Inner World companion booklet, revealing the benefits of the mantras written by Venerable Robina Courtin, and exclusive, stunning artwork; a collaboration between the acclaimed New Zealand duo of Ella Brewer (classically trained Thanka Painter) and Tiffany Singh (an award-winning visual artist). This particular work of theirs is a combination of traditional Tibetan and contemporary art.

In addition to this announcement today, Inner World has debuted the first offering from the project, the “Compassion” mantra, one of the most famous Buddhist prayers. Reciting
the mantra of the Buddha of Compassion (known in Tibetan as Chenrezig and in Sanskrit as Avalokiteshvara) is said to open our hearts and bring us closer to others, to feel love and compassion through wisdom, generating a desire to help.

“Compassion” is out now, listen: HERE

The origins of Inner World began in 2015, when one of the project’s co-executive producers and a longtime student of The Dalai Lama, Junelle Kunin, wrote to him requesting his participation, by fervently explaining her feelings that an album by such a compassionate and wise being would help people particularly who struggle with emotional stress. After reading her letter, his response was enthusiastic, saying, “This will benefit many people!”. She and her husband Abraham Kunin, both from New Zealand, spent the next five years working with a small team to bring the project to life. The Dalai Lama’s recordings have been thread through music composed by Abraham and performed on thirty-plus instruments by himself and a cast of collaborators from around the world, including a special guest performance from Anoushka Shankar on “Ama La.” The composer integrated the live performances with artful programming and production, building a peaceful bedrock for these sacred offerings.

Net proceeds from the sales of Inner World will go to The Gaden Phodrang Foundation of the Dalai Lama (Switzerland) chosen program: Social, Emotional and Ethical Learning (SEE Learning), an international K-12 education program and part of an academic collaboration between Emory University and His Holiness; and Mind and Life Institute, which brings science & contemplative wisdom together to better understand the mind & create positive change in the world.

The post The Dalai Lama – “Inner World” appeared first on Good News!.

Drawing on decades of working with people in pain and in denial, Frederickson uses real-life stories to reveal truths we all struggle to face and the universal ways we avoid those truths. He discusses:

• Why no one needs to be fixed. “We may think we need to fix ourselves,” Frederickson observes, “but often we are trying to fix our fantasies instead, the broken illusions, shattered self-images, and distorted ideas creating our suffering.”

• Why grief, shame, guilt, and rage are not problems to be avoided but signs of our true self and paths to healing. “We are never hurt by our deepest feelings,” Frederickson assures, “only by our resistance to them.”

• Why taking responsibility for the life we created is so much harder than blaming others for our disappointments and failures, and how therapy can help us break free of trying to force people to live up to our fantasies and fulfill seductive promises and much more.

• How what is “wrong” in us often points to what is right. To heal, recover who we are, and create a more authentic life, we need to stop running and embrace what we fear—from the wounds of our past to our own simmering anger.

Focusing on the heart and soul of therapy, THE LIES WE TELL OURSELVES is an eye-opening guide to not only getting the most from our relationship with a therapist but also our relationships with others—even those who have hurt us—and, above all, with ourselves.

Q&A with Jon Frederickson
author of
The Lies We Tell Ourselves: How to Face the Truth,
Accept Yourself, and Create a Better Life

1. What is the ideal relationship between a therapist and a patient?
Patients become ill because they avoid what makes them anxious, and their avoidance strategies create their symptoms and problems. Ideally, the therapist and patient figure out what the patient is avoiding and work hard to face it together.

2. Research has found therapy to be generally effective, yet 50 percent of patients relapse. How do people know whether therapy is right for them?
We can’t know in advance if therapy with a particular therapist will work. We can only decide to work with a therapist and see if together we can co-create a relationship that leads to change. If that doesn’t work, we should try a different therapist in case that’s the problem. And then we should look within ourselves to see if something we are doing is getting in the way of a successful therapeutic relationship.

3. What is the main variable in whether therapy works?
Research shows that the main variable is the patient. After all, when we go into therapy, we need to face what we usually avoid. But this can be difficult since facing what we usually avoid makes us anxious. If we can muster the courage to face what we fear, we should have a good result in therapy.

4. What are the most important steps a patient can take to have an effective therapy?
First of all, be clear about the problem you want to focus on in therapy. If something you usually avoid makes you anxious in therapy, focus on it. When we avoid what makes us anxious, anxiety remains in charge. If we face what makes us anxious, we can take charge.

5. Why is it important to focus on an internal problem you have during therapy rather than focus on other people’s problems?
A therapist can’t do therapy with someone who isn’t in the office. But the therapist can help you with a problem you have. We often try to change other people to end our problems, but it never works. What we can do is change ourselves. And that’s what the therapist can help you with.

6. People tend to avoid the hard truths of their lives. Why is confronting painful truths such a crucial part of therapy and the healing process?
We become ill because we avoid the truths of our lives. For instance, an abused woman denies t
