ESTONIA
TIBETAN BUDDHIST MONKS
May 10 's 19:00 's Tibetan monks are well known for their extremely low-pitched singing to the point that one wonders if you are really listening to the voices of human beings or something a bit more unworldly. This remarkable, transcendental sound is thought to arise only from the throat of a person who has realized selfless wisdom. It emanates from something called samadhi, a trance-like state of pure consciousness. Hey, it's just some pretty good tunes.
The concert will be held in Estonia Concert Hall, Tallinn.
