DETAILS 
DESCRIPTION
This is a collection of chants from the Won Buddhist tradition intended to brighten the light of your spirit and to guide you to be centered.
Album Notes :
Chanting meditation helps to focus the mind by reciting a simple phrase or sutra. Because the mind of a beginning meditator is not settled, chanting meditation is a very efficient method to calm the mind. We chant in both Korean and English.
