  • Bio

    This is the official Jetsunma MySpace site. ..It was created and is maintained by Jetsunmas promotional team. .... * * * .. Jetsunma, a Brooklyn native, is the first Western woman recognized and enthroned as a tulku or reincarnate lama in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Recognized by HH Penor Rinpoche, HH Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche, and Dzongang Rinpoche, eminent masters of this time, Jetsunma has been called a great Bodhisattva by her teachers and many Tibetan masters who have taught at her temple over the years. .... According to tradition, Dakinis, or female wisdom beings, bring the wisdom of the Buddha to new lands through spontaneous teaching and song. Jetsunma has taught just such a treasury for over two decades. Her engaging style skillfully distills the vast wisdom of the Buddha, helping people to bring real compassion into their everyday lives. .. Her songs spark with the spontaneity and power of traditional Bodhisattva song: bridging the urban underground and deep spiritual truth. .. .. Jetsunma just finished laying down the vocals for her fourth album,..A Lineage of Queens,.. on which she delivers a strong message of female empowerment as she chronicles a dakini's life. On this album, dedicated in part to John Lennon in hopes of fulfilling his dreams, she is collaborating with renowned musicians such as ..Tex Gabriel.. and ..Jimmy Mack,.. along with Louis Winfield and vocalist ..Tara Middleton... .. BEHIND THE SCENES: A LINEAGE OF QUEENS... WATCH NOW!!! .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........* * *.. ...... Free Pro-Peace downloads from Delog and Revolution of Compassion available now!! .. .. ........ ........* * *.... .... .. .... ........ Trilogy is a spiritual center of funk, blues, R&B, new age alternating with sounds of jazz. Jetsunma said, “A Lineage of Queens is, for me, a work of love for the spirit and heart of women, and men who are progressive. It speaks to the lack of empowerment and quality of life that one half of the world’s population experiences. In many places, and for a long time, women have been considered property, servants, unequal. Yet the Buddha teaches, and I believe, that all sentient beings--ALL without exception--are equal in their nature and potential. It is my dream and prayer to tell them so." .. Trilogy is an Editor's Pick .. on CD Baby!.. .... Check out this fan video of "The Promise".. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........* * *.... .... .. .... ...... .... Jetsunma’s vocals, one part earthy and emotional, two parts smoky and sultry combine with her powerful lyrics and trademark universal messages as she explores new musical territory with the blues. ........* * *...... ......Delog: Released September 13th, 2007.... .. .. .............. .. .. A smooth, downtempo mix of urban trip hop infused with ancient Tibetan mantra and chants, this eclectic CD brings an edge to enlightenment. Inspired by the energy and truth of hip hop, Jetsunma fuses progressive hop with trip hop, weaving ethereal vocals through raw organic beats, and uniting contemporary world issues with the sacred sound of mantra. .. ......* * *.... ......Revolution of Compassion: Released July 21st, 2007.. ........ ............ .. A fusion of melody, ancient Tibetan mantra and trunk rumbling ill beats washed with real dub flavor, Jetsunmas debut CD, Revolution of Compassion, flows as an astonishing mix that leaves you yearning for more. Jetsunma’s fusion of lyrics, mantra and slamming beats aims to open the listeners heart and free the mind. This is true enlightenment dub; beyond genre classification, but experienced by dancing feet and truth of mind simultaneously. Powerful and confident, her songs brim with certainty that, if enough people get with such a view and fearlessly take a stand, suffering could cease to pervade today’s world. The Revolution of Compassion becomes possible. She even delivers a pointed message to the current U.S. President on the track "Step Down," about his seemingly endless war. .. ..

    Jetsunma’s music brings the message that social change, spiritual transformation, and, even enlightenment are in your hands. Especially, when you’re dancing to her records. .. .. "The latest example of someone getting it right comes in the form of a new CD from Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo, a female Western Dharma teacher from the Nyingma School, called Revolution of Compassion...” - Shambala Sun, January 2008 from an article titled “Chocolate and Peanut Butter For Your Ears” by Rod Meade Sperry .. .. “I dig the true being that develops from the sounds of Jetsunma....there is an aura of light that should shine onto the ears of others...” - Green Arrow Radio .. .. “This music is valuable on so many levels. It can be listened to spiritually for the teachings and wisdom -- or in an entirely secular manner, it can be listened to for the material beauty of the music, of the singing, and of the songs.” - John Bardi, Department of Philosophy, Penn State .. .. “The way the songs are structured on Revolution of Compassion take me on a journey as I alternate between wanting to hit the dance floor and look within introspectively.” - Glenn Scarpelli, CEO, Sedona NOW
