The Gyuto Tantric University, founded by Jetsun Kunga Dhondup in Lhasa, Tibet, in 1475, is a major tantric institution of the Buddhist Gelug Order. In 1959, Gyoto monks fled the political upheaval in Tibet with the Dalai Lama and took refuge in northern India. They established their monastery in Tenzin Gang, Arunachal Pradesh, before settling in Sidhbari, near Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh.
In addition to teaching Tantric meditation, ritual arts and Buddhist philosophy, Gyuto monks are known for their unique six-century-old overtone singing tradition performed during sacred tantric practices and invocations.
These riveting recordings – featuring a Yamantaka Mandala Initiation Chant (A1), a Chant of All Sources of Wealth Containing the Very Essence of All Tantra (A2) and offering chants (B1-B2) – present remarkable deep drone-like low-harmonic chants and overtone throat singing, as each monk can vocalize several notes at once. The intense vibration of this timeless transcendent spiritual music is a true universal treasure.
La Gyuto Tantric University fondée en 1475 par Jetsun Kunga Dhondup à Lhassa, au Tibet, est une institution tantrique majeure de l'Ordre monastique bouddhiste Gelug. En 1959, des moines Gyuto fuient les bouleversements politiques au Tibet avec le Dalaï Lama pour se réfugier dans le nord de l'Inde. Ils y établissent le monastère de Tenzin Gang dans l'Arunachal Pradesh, avant de s'installer à Sidhbari, près de Dharamsala, dans l'Himachal Pradesh.
En plus d'enseigner la méditation tantrique, les arts rituels et la philosophie bouddhiste, les moines Gyuto sont connus pour leur tradition de chants harmoniques vieille de six siècles exécutés lors de pratiques et d'invocations tantriques sacrées.
Ces enregistrements fascinants – comprenant un Chant d'Initiation du Mandala de Yamantaka (A1), un Chant de toutes les sources de richesses contenant l’essence même de tous les Tantra (A2) et des chants d'offrandes (B1-B2) – présentent des chants bouddhistes très graves avec des harmoniques profondes semblable à des bourdons, où chaque moine peut vocaliser plusieurs notes à la fois. Cette musique spirituelle et transcendantale intemporelle aux vibrations intenses est un véritable trésor universel.
