Journey - Bondage to Freedom

Journey is a three-in-one album. It has two CDs and one DVD. The first CD features ten songs, nine of which are taken from the “Buddhist Hymns” book compiled by Datuk Dr Victor Wee. The tenth song, “Chief”, written by Nathan, is a moving tribute to his late Chief, Venerable Dr K. Sri Dhammananda Nayaka Maha Thera, who passed away on August 31st, 2006.

Most of the singers featured in this first CD are experienced singers and musicians. The second CD is a recital of the “Maha Mangala Sutta” (Sutta of the Highest Blessings) by Venerable K. Nanda, who unhesitantly said yes to Bro Nathan’s invitation and flew from the US to record the Maha Mangala Sutta even though the Venerable was not feeling well at the time of recording.

The DVD is a bonus feature on this album. It is a video portrayal of the late Chief, Venerable Dr K. Sri Dhammananda, as a personal tribute from Nathan, who regards the late Chief as his mentor and spiritual teacher. As Nathan says, many people in the Buddhist community would have felt a glaring vacuum left by their late Chief.

Proceeds from the sales of the album will go to the respective temples and buddhist centres that sell the album. For more info click here.
