You probably have heard of the advice to treat your body like a temple. But what does that mean? And where did the saying come from?

Like many famous sayings, this one originates from the Bible:
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body,” (1 Cor. 6:19-20).
Journey Through New World Music

I’ve been enjoying musics from all around the world my entire life. After classical music training, I had a period in my life (I was 17) where I bought a Vinyl record collection from Decca filled with ethnic music and chants. It brought me to sing along with Bulgarian Chant Ensemble, Gregorian Chant Monks, Marocain Music Ensemble, Ravi Shankar, Japanese Koto theater music, and more.
Listening to the record collection inspired much of my international musical culture and influences.

Traveling the Road to Lhasa

Travel along with me, on the road to Lhasa. The name of this city in the clouds (one of the highest capitals in the world) literally means “place of the gods,” and is the seat of the Dalai Lama and capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region in the People’s Republic of China. While it may be quite a hike to reach the 3,490 metres (11,450 feet) elevation, the journey is well worth it. It is a transformative experience.
When you consider Tibetan monks, images of meditation and peace probably come to mind. These holy men are well-known for their chant “Om Mani Padme Hum,” which roughly translates to,”Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus. Hail to Him who is the Jewel in the Lotus. The chants help them along their spiritual journey to achieve enlightenment, or Buddahood: a state that is said to be one of “continuous bliss mixed with a simultaneous cognition of emptiness, the true nature of reality.”
