The Dalai Lama’s first-ever album will be released on July 6. It features teachings and mantras set to music by the Tibetan spiritual leader.

NEW YORK — Stressed out while working at a bank in New Zealand, Junelle Kunin began searching for music paired with teachings from the Dalai Lama to calm herself down and allow herself to focus.That’s when the musician and practicing Buddhist proposed an idea to The Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama: Let’s make an album fusing music with mantras and chants from the Tibetan spiritual leader.

“I’d never heard him speak like this. He really was so excited ... he actually proceeded to explain to me how important music is,” Kunin said. “He leaned forward and his eyes were sparkling, and his fingers were rubbing together and he about how music can help people in a way that he can’t; it can transcend differences and return us to our true nature and our good heartedness.

Kunin said that although they’ve worked on the album for the last five years, it feels extremely relevant releasing it now. “The entire purpose of this project is to try to help people. It’s not a Buddhist project, it’s to help everyday people like myself, even though I am Buddhist,” she said. “The messages couldn’t be more poignant for our current social climate and needs as humanity.”

People can be worse or better depending on the environment. It is a time to face the regeneration of people's lives throughout the world. Many people are wasting time. Focus on empowering that many people. From valuing all life.

He says if his successor is a woman she had to be good looking. Even the Dalai Lama sucks.
