Just beautiful,no matter how many times I listen and watch... if only more people could see it. Maybe would be more of us who aren't afraid to say- free Tibet, finally. Let it heal.And let it blossom. Let us all enjoy.
Many thanks for this wonderful gift, again and again and again showering us with absolute grace. For those who want the Tibetan text (standard Buddist prayer, melody composed by Yungchen Lhamo): Om Mani Padme Hung / Om Mani Padme Hung Srid pa'i bde chos thams cad ni / rmi lam bzhin du bden pa med / Zhi gyur bden pa dam pa'i chos / de ni myur du sgrub par smon / Om Mani Padme Hung //
When you listen to this song, it makes you want to take action for the good of society. The soothing of the soul comes through this woman's singing. it is true.
if you are sad and lonly there is one thing you can do......love and to be loved..........I dont know how to describe how I feel when this song is playing.....its absolutely ''pure love''
I need this song tonight. My 13 year old dog passed away today. After losing my wife in December, my father in law in January and one of my favorite singers who helped me heal the last 9 months I am a bit lost tonight. This music is so beautiful, healing, calming, and the mountains I love so.
+lurking0death I would love that very much. Perhaps some day i will be able to do so. I have not traveled out of US since I was a child and my father was in Germany. 1964. Now I have a couple trips I dream about. Thank you for your comment. I have had 2 CD's of hers for over 20 years. This song is one of my favorite of any type of music I have ever heard. The video makes it even better and she is so beautiful.
I saw this video back around 2001 give or take a year and had it DVR'd for replay, but when I moved in January 2004 I lost it and only a few days ago discovered this here on UA-cam. Oddly enough as I looked for it here I could not remember the name exactly and the name that kept popping up in my head was Aum Shinrikyo -- the Japanese terrorist group that dispensed Sarin in the Japanese subway. Somehow I managed to find the name Younchen Lhamo and that wrung a bell. Then I saw the song name "Happiness Is..." and that brought me back. Lastly, it took a couple versions of this song to reconnect with the video I'd seen nearly 14 years ago. This song and this video are pretty amazing in the blending of eastern and western musical influences and beautiful by any description. Yungchen's voice is amazing and the music is serene. Glad to have found this piece after so long. Brian
These false criticisms are nothing to do with the song, but I'll answer anyway: FREE TIBET! My sentence says it all. Tibet must be a free nation because it's a pacific people. Respect and long live to his holiness the Dalai Lama and Yungchen Lhamo. Long life to all Tibetans.
@divineagent your comment ist absolutely justified. but: does the fact that the former feudal regime tortured the tibetans permit the chinese government to do the same now? imho it does not. tibetans are peaceful and they do earn everybodys respect. they have the rhe right to demand their own government. there´s no way back to former feudal structures, but the current heteronomy and genocide has to be stopped. peace
yungchen la, you don't even know which hand to hold the Drilbu (the bell) with. if you wanna be a tibetan, please be a good tibetan. thanks for the video though.
@02iva Lol. Dalai Lama is a politician he is having meetings with Obama, going to UN assemblies. You only made this youtube account to spread misinformation about Dalai Lama, calling me a liar. I don't claim to know everything and I would never intentionally lie. "Even if you madly insist to substain the contrary, your violent policy in Tibet is clear to all the world." wtf, are you talking to me? I have policy in Tibet. I'm in Croatia commenting on a youtube video. Nice little fake account
@mb002009 He is a terrible person, and a lot of Tibetan monks will tell you that, look into Tibetan buddhist monk oppression and their migration to India ... Dalai Lama is corrupt
I first heard this song recently on the CD: Gardens of Eden, while on a retreat in Costa Rica. It brings me to tears every time I listen to it, it is so awesomely beautiful. I can't think of any other music that has ever had as profound of an impact on me. Thank you so much for posting it here.
I have her album and still listening to this...it makes me cry. I don't know why exactly but she has such beautiful voice and her gestures makes a busy person like me feel so peaceful. It just makes u feel soothed from the world's harshness and make u calm within. Lots of love and admiration Acha Yangchen la. Thuchi che
Glorious. I'm so glad spirit guided me to Yungchen Lhamo. All I see are tibetan flags blowing freely on a Bhutanese mountain sanctuary, I smell the cedarwood and red dragon incence and follow the sound of the wind...Happiness is...
I first heard this on Nat Geo and I must say.. I fell in love with this RIGHT AWAY. I wish Nat Geo would play music from around the world again. Its always nice to experience entertainment from another cultures' perspective. We don't have ANYTHING like this here in the U.S ( atleast not in mainstream music). Which is SAD! This is so beautiful.
I can't thank you enough for this video...such a wonderful voice...great video...I think Tibet has a lot to offer and many things to teach us...just listen to this song...it enriches our souls...it's cleansing and it open's a gate to purity... Thank you again...:D
I just learned about this artist. Discovering more of her recordings will be exciting. I hope there are more recordings of her singing mantras. 100 syllable or Guru Rinpoche's mantra or the 7 line prayer would be amazing to hear expressed through her voice.
There's more involved then freedom here. It doesn't make me cry to remember how horrible tibetians used to have it when tibet WAS free. Dali Lama was a horrible horrible person.
So, should Tibet remain locked in the past? Perhaps even the Tibet of one hundred years ago is 'too modern' for you... perhaps Tibet should really go back a thousand years to its 'authentic Tibetin' past...? Fusion and melding are part of human experience; when two cultures are joined and the best influences of each annealed into the collective memory of the people, sometimes a stronger national character is annealed. Tibet should welcome modern instruments and ideas, yet retain its character
@dankcro I defend H.H. because he is my Guru. Like for a million of Tibetans. This is the only reason why I wrote. But, why you are here? If you are not chinese (and nobody can be sure about this...), I don't really understand why you are telling all these things against H.H. Maybe you are a pratictioner of NKT or WSS. If not, again I don't understand why you are saying those things. Maybe it's because compassion & wisdom are rare in this samsara. Tashi Delek.
@dankcro You are not a Master. It isn't you that you have to tell people what teacher they have to follow. His Holiness has 7 milion of devoted followers only amongst Tibetans. I advice to you they are able to resist also to tortures rather then disclaim him. So try to convince everyone of them with this video...
amen! It is a great travesty how the world has ignored the Tibetan situation and turned a blind eye to the Chinese torture and repression in Tibet! If there was oil in Tibet, maybe it would be a different story! How sad!!!! We need to inspire the free world to take action and free Tibet.
You are only damaging yourself in doing and saying all this kind of horrible things in regard to H. H. & tibetan people. Tibetans will be free very soon by themselves as they were before your invasion of Tibet. F R E E T I B E T !!! FOREVER!
Tibetan music with western Instrument, and you free tibetan lovers won't call this the destory of your tibetan culture? I show my great pity on that girl, innoncencex tools of politicans
i saw yungchen on cumbre tajin papantla mexico and i have to say... was one of my best experiences ever...yungchen i love you

This is what music is. The Soul, The Heart, The Being. I love music from all over the world, and this is why.
I have no clue what she is saying but it seems to speak all about Tibetan Buddhism. It really makes you think. It's beautiful. Free Tibet! :)

Nice voice..liked it..
This reminds of that one song from Samurai Champloo, obokuri-eeumi. But not in Japanese. It has that same, calming, quiet singing
nice mixture of old and new styles. good job.

Adamı putperest yapar bu ses ve bu şarkı. Magic bir krallık ağlıyorum burda, âh.

Anyone know where I can get an English translation for this?
dalai lama is also just a human being making mistakes and nobody is perfect
FREE TIBET AND BURMA
@Feili642 look it up it's all over internet
yeah, that's pretty rude of me. i am sorry. yangchen la, sorry to you too.
@Ganeschar : why could a muslim not listen to music they like?
Watch Penn & Teller Bullshit: Important People.
FREE TIBET, 10 MARCH.
@02iva /watch?v=h8FMNtTw24o , find another Guru
@mb002009 Dalai Lama is indeed a horrible person if you know his deeds as a puppet against his own country.

I first purchase this CD over 20 years ago. When I found this video it was a treasure. Wonderful!
I saw her live 10 years ago, and her voice just soared over the audience. She's great!
I have her album and still listening to this...it makes me cry. I don't know why exactly but she has such beautiful voice and her gestures makes a busy person like me feel so peaceful.

Keep singing for Tibet and for the happiness of all sentient beings. ཁྱེད་ལ་བཀྲིན་ཆེ་ཞུ་བ་ཡིན།
Music From Heaven !

Glorious. I'm so glad spirit guided me to Yungchen Lhamo.
All I see are tibetan flags blowing freely on a Bhutanese mountain sanctuary, I smell the cedarwood and red dragon incence and follow the sound of the wind...Happiness is...

What an awesome music. can someone translate the words ? thanks
really brings out the buddha nature out of people, the song has all the compassion of the Buddha. great song
I just learned about this artist. Discovering more of her recordings will be exciting. I hope there are more recordings of her singing mantras. 100 syllable or Guru Rinpoche's mantra or the 7 line prayer would be amazing to hear expressed through her voice.
I feel a soft and strange warmth fills my soul while i close my eyes and listen carefully this beautiful song...
beautiful amazing song and gorgeous film with political statement I have viewed this a lot of times. Thank you
Gorgeous voice, music & images. Spiritually uplifting. Breaks through the language barrier.
By fluke she crossed my ears. sotoday I couldn´t stop listening to her.
I love Yungchen. Good to see people have posted videos of her music.
You touch my soul with the beauty of this song! Thank you so much!
Awasome music.
One of the best songs ever! Just amazing!

Voice of a Goddess...blessed be!!!

I love the way she sing and her voice wow
There's more involved then freedom here. It doesn't make me cry to remember how horrible tibetians used to have it when tibet WAS free. Dali Lama was a horrible horrible person.
And Christian nations dont care the afterlife of Tibetan people, but just disturb their hearts and use them as gun powers against their own brethren.
Thank You!!!
