Our Temple at Midnight Tour visited 19 cities in Europe,
the UK and Russia in Sept-Oct. It felt to us like the best
tour we'd ever had, but to be honest, we say that at the
end of every tour! Your voices, and the depth of your
participation and the ecstatic silence we all feel gives
us the inspiration to dive into the bliss inherent in the
mantras and play our hearts out. Over the years, all of us
together have created a precious global chant sangha.
Whether we live in Moscow, Miami, Dublin or New York, we
are all connected through the music and mantras and the
desire to make this world a better place. We love you!

Nov-28 Greeting a stranger with Namaste, making eye contact, palms joined, chanting the mantra, is such a powerful experience of affirmation and connection. In Buddhist terms, we are ‘greeting the Buddha within’.
