The vibrations of the mantra and the prayer have a healing and pacifying power, and listeners can feel the enlightened energy of the Buddhist goddesses along with the devotion of the Mongolian yogini. Her magical voice transmits the blessings of White Tara beyond time and space. When Kunze Chimed heard it, she was deeply touched and inspired to record her own version.
It was during the same year that he recorded the prayer to White Tara. In 2016, Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche abandoned his monastic vows. He was born in 1995 in Nepal and enthroned by the late Penor Rinpoche, who was invited to Karma Monastery in Bodh Gaya for the ceremony in 2000. The melody of the prayer to White Tara was inspired by the musical record of the same prayer performed by the Fourth Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. The echo of his words can be heard six centuries later in the melodious voice of Kunze Chimed. Like all Dalai Lamas, he was identified as an emanation of Avalokiteshvara. Gendun Drub founded the great Tashilhunpo Monastery and remained its abbot until his death. He was a student of the eminent Gelug teacher Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) and the first abbot of Ganden Monastery, founded by Tsongkhapa himself. Gendun Drub (1391–1474), who was considered posthumously to be the First Dalai Lama, was one of the most esteemed scholar-saints of his time. It is based on A Praise to White Tara written by the First Dalai Lama, who also had a special connection with the Buddhist goddess. The prayer to White Tara performed by Kunze Chimed combines elements of Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Mongolian languages. The album, called Mantra, was recorded in May 2018 in White Arch Studios, in the Khan Uul district of Ulaanbaatar. Kunze Chimed worked together with music composer and producer Turkhuu Bayasgalan. Her last album contains a prayer to White Tara with an intriguing history. Kunze Chimed has a special connection with White Tara and has recorded many beautiful prayers and mantras dedicated to the female deity. She is a devoted Dharma practitioner, a brilliant performer of mantras and prayers, a lecturer, a translator of Dharma books, a director of a Buddhist women’s association called Buman Khand (Million Dakinis), and a loving mother of two kids. Her divine voice and noble Dharma activities inspire Buddhists all over the world. Mongolian yogini Kunze Chimed is accepted in her home country as an emanation of White Tara. This tradition is spread through the regions of Tibetan Buddhism, including Mongolia. They recognize her enlightened nature reincarnated in women with extraordinary qualities. Tibetans worships Tara as one of the most important deities along with Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion. In the pantheon of Tibetan Buddhism, she serves as the main deity of longevity together with Amitayus and Ushnishavijaya. The white form of Tara is very popular in Tibet, where she is known as Drolma Karmo or Drolkar. Her power is related to the prevention of accidents, natural disasters, lack of physical vitality, and anything that could endanger life. She is also associated with long life, the healing of physical and mental illnesses, and the elimination of difficulties that appear on the road to the ultimate goal of enlightenment. Her white color is a symbol of purity, the immaculate truth of the Dharma and perfectly pure wisdom. White Tara, known as Sita Tara in Sanskrit, is worshipped as the mother of all Buddhas and an embodiment of the maternal aspect of compassion. Kunze Chimed with a thangka of White Tara.
