The Dalai Lama will celebrate his 85th birthday and his debut album, 'Inner World,' with a livestream featuring Richard Gere and more
last month. The 11-track album mixes some of the Tibetan spiritual leader’s favorite mantras and chants with new music. The music was composed and recorded by Junelle and Abraham Kunin, two married musicians from New Zealand.
Recalling her recording session with the Dalai Lama, Junelle Kunin said: “I’d never heard him speak like this. He really was so excited … he actually proceeded to explain to me how important music is. He leaned forward and his eyes were sparkling, and his fingers were rubbing together and he [talked] 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.
