Tibetan Shamanic Rock Music & Therapy
Created by William R Leon, Lama
Jinpa, Dev Lama, Pascal, Ben &all
Welcome!
Caer Sidi Music
is a creative group of visionary musicians, gNak-pas (lamas) multimedia artists, academic
researchers and NGOs partners, all working from the strategic site
of Bauddha Stupa (KTM, Nepal), thus being right at the centre of Nepal current humanitarian
crisis and therefore being intimately related to the inner
substance of an ever expanding new vision of artistic, musical and
spiritual consciousness production,
as it appears to enfold quite naturally and
surprisingly over there...
The inspiration, influences and
visionary lyrics being found in our MP3 samples and video clips are directly related to experience gathered
from the practices of Tsa-rLung, Tantras and Termas, being merged with the
Grail Quest and Keltic Archetypes, who/which manifest themselves in real
life events...
The substance is thereupon
gained is conceptualized within the musical and artistic expression of
both the Vajrayana and Keltic traditions, biographically inherited either from
transmissions given by
reputed Nyingma Lamas Gurus (Khyentse, Dudjom, Tarab Tulku, etc...),
Shamanic Teachers (Zeberio) and the Grail Quest Egregore spiritual
embodiment.
Caer Sidi Music is a
World Music Fusion of
traditional acoustic and synthesizer instruments, blending harmoniously
old Rock Music songs of the Arjuna group (70s-80s) with Tamang, Tibetan
and Nepalese Traditional dance, music, pujas and
rituals, all in one musical performance.
It is in short the Living Path, the expression of yogas
practices
performed naturally on a very daily basis in the powerplace : Bauddha Stupa.
It is the vibrant music
magical expression of local youth, musicians and lamas, all gathering in the Cyberlinked multi dimensional new world music, emerging from their
creativity...
Sacred
Rock-Shamanic Fusion
Wrathful
Mothers is the name of a global collection of individuals seeking to unite
the blessing stream and enlightened potential of Tibetan sacred and shamanic
music, with the dynamic, fresh and creative power of modern rock fusion….
The Vision
Our vision
encompasses a wide range of creative and spiritual purposes:
Musical
Creation
Music comes in
an incredible array of genre, styles, periods and possibilities. From within
this broad spectrum, Wrathful Mothers takes its inspiration from several
distinct sources:
-
the best of
contemporary rock, with an emphasis on European developments
-
Tibetan
spiritual music, as epitomized by the shamanic and tantric traditions of
Vajrayana Buddhism
-
Celtic
music, and its connection to ancient Mongolian shamanic traditions in
France.
Experimenting
with the fusion of these elements, the creative process goes beyond musical
inventiveness. The whole is infused with spiritual essence, and the purpose
is to bring about a deep change in consciousness.
Integrating
Mundane and Sublime
The whole
purpose of the spiritual path is simple: to bridge the gap between our
everyday, humdrum lives, full of stress and striving, with the pure,
underlying stratum of enlightened energy that is the basis of all.
Unfortunately, many spiritual traditions have only widened that gap,
cloistered away in monastic environments. And music and art, no matter how
good, has no consistent, meaningful way of connected with the divine. Dharma
music and Shamanic Rock, integrating ancient spiritual technology with
current, advanced Western music, is the ideal vehicle to bring these two
forces closer together.
Transformation
Music can
entertain, uplift, inform. It draws us in, forms a background to our lives,
and is the milieu of the most special moments in our memories. But music can
be the vehicle for a much deeper purpose. Rather than just musical wallpaper
or a pleasant experience, music can be the vehicle of profound and lasting
inner change. However, this doesn’t happen by accidentally. Transformation
is as much as “art” as music, literature or painting. And it is as much a
science as physics or biochemistry. To bring music to its epitome,
mainstream rock can be infused with spiritual blessings and sacred
connections. This is the fulfilment of the promise of the music we love,
were born with and is in our bloods. The scintillating brilliance of the
Tibetan masters, and the heritage they maintain, can also be fulfilled. The
transformative power of Vajrayana can find a home in the very streams of
sound that come out of our radios, our ipods. Music and technology can
finally be the handmaiden of sacred music and sacred technology.
Cultural
Shift
Not least, the
vision is to change the direction of culture, beyond the decadence and
darkness of these last decades. Especially for the global youth, the lost
generations that are now being inducted into the violence and aimlessness of
the modern world, Sacred Dharma Music Shamanic Rock offers a possibility.
Music that might merely be a protest or an escape, can become a pathway, and
conduit for real change in the values and meaning of lives. By generating
compassion, wisdom, integrity and fearlessness in the young, in men and
women of every race, creed or walk of life, society itself can be redeemed
to a new level. We uphold those standards and seek to fulfil the dreams of a
worse gone sane and a time of peace and brother-sisterhood. (c) Lama
