For the first time ever, The Dalai Lama presents a sacred offering of mantras and teachings set to music. This project, entitled "Inner World", strives to create a sense of safety in times of anxiety and fear, giving people the courage to never give up hope. Released to honor his 85th birthday celebrations on July 6th, 2020, the album is a great dedication to the decades of his vision and work for world peace and educating the heart. A 2CD + Book edition is also out now, available at https://innerworld.lnk.to/InnerWorldCD. When asked why he accepted the request to make the album, he answered, “The very purpose of my life is to serve as much as I can.” He also added, “Music can help people in a way that I can’t.” Net proceeds from the sales of “Inner World” will go to The Gaden Phodrang Foundation of the Dalai Lama (Switzerland) chosen programs: Social, Emotional and Ethical Learning (SEE Learning), an international K-12 education program and part of an academic collaboration between Emory University and His Holiness; and Mind & Life Institute, which brings science & contemplative wisdom together to better understand the mind & create positive change in the world.
