about

Our function is to transmit the depth of our spiritual practice through song. These songs have woven themselves into our daily routines, meditation retreats, and other special monastery events.

All songs written or arranged by Danney Soten Lynch, except Metta* arranged by Kate Munger of Threshold Choir and Three Little Birds* by Bob Marley. Also, the original melody of Dalai Lama's Vow written by Allison Yuko Krieger.
