Tibetan Musical Instruments
 | Tibet stands at the influence of three civilization, the Turko-Mongolian, the Chinese and the Indian. Enriched from time to time by influences from these, its own ancient tradition has developed in high isolation from the rest of the civilized world. This tradition embraces a very distinctive way of life and a music all its own. Music plays an important part in Tibetan life and has three aspects:
• the folk-music - found in the daily lives of the people
• an art music - cultivated especially by professional minstrels
• the sacred chant and instrumental music of the Buddhist Liturgy and other rites - centering around the monasteries. |
The Lamas say "Religion is sound". The recitation of mantras, chanting and the playing of instrumental music are fundamental in their worship.
