Tibetan Buddhist Chanting

This is an example of the Tibetan Buddhist Tantric (Vajrayana) chanting sometimes referred to as the 'Lion's roar'.

I learnt how to do this type of chanting from the chant master at Sera Je, the Tibetan Buddhist Monastic University in exile, India.

I can't believe this has nearly 50,000 downloads!!!
My favourite use is in the penultimate episode of 'Falling Skies' as the alien overlords sound.
