10 Questions for the Dalai Lama (SD 945)
Original score by Peter Kater
Music from the motion picture directed by Rick Ray
The experience of listening to the music on this soundtrack, by multi Grammy nominated pianist/composer Peter Kater, is best described as sublime. With guest appearances by chanting Tibetan monk and teacher Tulku Orgyen, Tibetan flutist Nawang Khechog, and Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai, the listener is beckoned to step off the plateau of worldly affairs into the realm of self-realization and divine grace. The Tibetan bowls, cello, piano, strings chants and flutes add to the music's sweet spiritual seduction and give the listener the sense that the questions, once so seemingly urgent and consuming, have already been answered and dissolved by beautiful strains of flowing harmony and musical bliss.

"Our survival, our future is very much linked with one another. So therefore the concept of war and destroying your enemy is old fashioned... out of date."
"I do believe that all major world religious traditions have the same potential to create harmony, to create peace of mind."
