Kuan Yin is one of the most well-known Buddhist figures.  She is revered throughout Asia as one who answers prayers swiftly and eases the suffering of the world.  Often called the Goddess of Compassion, she is actually a bodhisattva, an 'awake being.'

Songs of Kuan Yin is overflowing with the power of the Divine Feminine. This album features songs by some of my favorite women artists, Deva Premal, Choying Drolma and Donna DeLory, among others.

The tracks are a sumptuous mix of  Western and world fusion influences, exclusively from women artists. (with the occasional assist from the men listed below) The overall presentation is contemplative, reflective, and the result is often heart opening.

Among my favorite tracks are, Song to Kuan Yin, by Donna DeLory & David Gregoli, Chenrezi by Choying Drolma & Steve Tibbetts, and Kuan Yin's Mantra by Lisa Thiel. As usual I gravitate to the tracks with distinct exotic world fusion arrangements, but there should be something here for every kind of musical taste in contemporary devotional music.
