Buddha Weekly Mantra Music in Sanskrit

The Buddha Weekly "Band" are volunteer vocalists, writers, musicians and studio team committed to preserving the original sacred Sanskrit Mantras and helping practioners with pronunciation.  These mantras are put to chantable music in original Sanskrit pronunciation, the most sacred of mantra languages for Mahayana Buddhists, with special attention to vocal pronunciation.

Although serious mantra practice, such as accumunlation retreats, are not usually musically chanted, for devotional practice, or daily Sadhanas, chanted mantras can make it more appealing and memorable to chant.

Our mantras are original. Please respect the copyright, allowing their distribution to help fund our Dharma mission and future mantra albums. To date we've produced two full albums of 10 and several singles. The third album will soon release! Help support our mission with your membership.
