Taking Refuge in the Three Jewels will lead us on the path to Enlightenment. With enlightenment, our lives will be full of compassion and wisdom. This album reflects the serene voice of Imee Ooi in a relaxed and soothing style that conveys the happiness of compassion, contentment, and the freedom from attachment.
"The Stanzas of the Lion of Men," portrays the Buddha's noble virtues at the time of His first visit to Kapilavatthu after His Enlightenment as narrated by Princess Yasodhara to her son, Rahula. Sung in a most graceful manner, Imee OOi's peaceful rendition of this classic brings to our hearts the story of the greatest teacher of all mankind.
