The Twenty-One Praises of Tara (MP3 CD)

Description

Noble Tara acts swiftly and fearlessly to defeat the fears that dwell in our hearts and present obstacles to achieving enlightenment. As Princess Dawa, Tara vowed to benefit all sentient beings until samsara empties. Breaking tradition, she vowed to accomplish this activity always in the body of a woman. Bardor Tulku Rinpoche teaches Tara practice, including her legend, symbolic aspects of her manifestation, and her enlightened activity. Rinpoche bases his talks on a commentary on the 21 praises of Tara, The Supreme Generosity of the Treasure Vase which Brings All Happiness and Joy by Thubten Shedrup Gyamtso of Dzogchen Monastery. Translated by Lama Yeshe Gyamtso. Four talks on 1 MP3 CD. This recording is in the "Mainly English" format.

Features

“Mainly English” Audio Recordings (CDs and MP3CDs) Because Bardor Tulku Rinpoche often speaks for long periods of time in Tibetan when he teaches, his long monologues have been curtailed on this MP3 CD recording (audio) to preserve the continuity of the teaching and make listening easier. Thus the voice heard for the majority of the time is that of the translator. DVD video recordings include all of the Tibetan.
MP3CD Recordings
MP3CDs look like ordinary CDs, but contain compressed audio files. While a regular audio CD holds a maximum of only 80 minutes of recorded audio, an identical-looking MP3CD can easily hold the audio files from an entire weekend or even week-long teaching. MP3CDs can be played in a computer and/or the audio files can be downloaded into an iPod or similar device. MP3CDs may also be played on a portable MP3CD player. Most ordinary CD players, such as the CD player in most older cars (roughly 2005 and earlier), will not play MP3CDs. Many but not all cars 2006 or later do have MP3-capable CD players. Any car or home stereo CD player that is capable of playing an MP3CD will have “MP3” or “MP3-WMA” clearly marked on the front of it.
The MP3CDs available for sale on this web site are all clearly labeled and packaged in a clear case. The audio files on them have proper ID3 tag information, which means that on a computer, iPod or similar device the audio files will display (and can be searched by) Album (Title of teaching), Song (Talk number within a teaching) and Artist (Teacher).
