Heart Strings - Tibetan Song of Compassion

Singer songwriter Tenzin Choegyal draws on his Tibetan roots to create original compositions which uniquely express his cultural lineage and the contemporary challenges faced by his people.
Tenzin was born to a nomadic family in Tibet, escaped the Chinese occupation with his family in the early 1970s and was raised in a Tibetan refugee community in Dharamsala, India. There, where His Holiness the Dalai Lama actively encourages his people to preserve their culture, Tenzin first began to explore his musical talents.
Tenzin feels a particular connection to the music of the wandering people of his homeland. He recalls his father’s mastery of the lingbu (bamboo flute) and his mother’s beautiful singing, and attributes much of his musical passion to those early influences.
Tenzin’s award winning songs have found a place in the complex tapestry of global sounds while collaboration with numerous Australian and international performers have allowed him to experiment with rhythm and structure and challenge traditional Tibetan musical norms.
Tenzin Choegyal plays the Dranyen (Tibetan lute) and Lingbu (transverse bamboo flute). His most outstanding instrument, however, is his voice. His music has been described as beautifully evocative, healing, and transcendent.

Translation: My heart is flying( or wondering ) in the sky while my body still remains on earth. OM MA NI PADME HUM ( It is mantra of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion. You can find more details on google.) BODH GYAL LO (May Tibet flourish).
~His songs contains minimum words, but his music speaks from heart.

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! Coming from the USA in Florida

I have listened to this song once or twice before but lately I have been feeling restless and stressed out and tonight as I listen to this again I can't help but shed a few tears. I have to say that this song strangely soothes and pierces my heart at the same time. Even though I don't understand the language, I almost feel as though it will bring me the kind of peace and healing that I need in my life right now. Thank you for this beautiful song.

May all the notes,  the sounds, resonate and awaken all those blessed enough to be able to hear this melody of compassion.
I believe when the children are signing, it is the chorus of "OM MANI PAD ME HUNG"
