The Drepung Loseling monks, now living at their monastery in exile in India, are particularly renowned for their multiphonic chanting known as zokkay (complete chord). Acclaimed author Dr. Huston Smith referred to multiphonic chanting as “lifting the human spirit to the level of the gods.”
Ancient societies throughout the world conceived that ritual performance of sacred music and dance at auspicious times establishes communication with the higher powers of good and brings about healing on environmental, societal and personal levels. In Tibet, whenever a monastery celebrated as spiritual festival, people from surrounding villages and nomadic tribes would assemble in the monastery’s courtyard for the three of four days of sacred music and dance. The performance on December 7, developed from this tradition, has been streamlined is such a way as to maintain the essential integrity and purpose of each of the individual pieces in the celebration.
