How do I access the album?

Copy and paste this link into your browser: https://soundcloud.com/user-680941425/sets/devotion-buddhist-mantras

You can listen to the album on SoundCloud and you can also download it. Unfortunately there's no option to download a whole album, so you'll need to download each track separately. To do this, click on the 'Tracks' tab. To download a track, click on the button underneath the track labelled ‘…More’. Then click 'Download file.' You'll be asked to sign into your SoundCloud account. If you don't yet have a SoundCloud account, you'll need to create one, but it's easy and free.

I hope you enjoy the music.

About me:

I practise Buddhism within the Triratna Buddhist Community. I'm a 'mitra' (friend) and I'm in training for ordination. I've always enjoyed singing, and since meeting the Dharma (the teachings of Buddhism), this has taken expression in a love of mantra chanting. While on furlough, I’ve recorded an album of Buddhist mantras and I'd like to use it to raise funds for the Karuna Trust.

About the Karuna Trust:

Inspired by Buddhist values, Karuna exists to end caste-based discrimination, poverty and inequality in India and Nepal. Karuna's work with individuals focuses on education, dignified livelihoods and gender equality, transforming communities and changing society. Since 1980, Karuna and its supporters have enabled people to overcome caste discrimination, finally gaining their own dignity and realising their potential as human beings.
