Extracts from music for three rituals were played in 1973 by the magnificent ensemble of shawms, trumpets and percussion of Khampagar Monastery. The recording opens with an invocation to Padmasambhava, who brought Buddhism to Tibet from India. Then follow two rites associated with Mahakala, who removes impediments to enlightenment. New notes by producer David Lewiston are included. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music, All Music Guide
