The record came about when musician Junelle Kunin, a student of the Dalai Lama from New Zealand, contacted him in 2015 with the idea - and much to her surprise he said yes. “That moment of recording him, my goodness I was shaking like a leaf before I went in there,” she said.Once back home, she worked with her husband Abraham and other musicians to produce music for the tracks.
