Inspired by the Divine Mantras of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, the female voice chants with crystal clarity and pure serenity. Unburden hindrance karma and attain Buddha-hood in the Pure-land, where the peaceful resonances of male and female voices join.

In the summer of 2007 as Imee Ooi stood on a mountain peak in Switzerland, she was inspired by the lucid inner chanting of Avalokitesvara to initiate this series, Ten Short Mantras. In this album her voice carries the clarity of compassion and hope for all beings, reaching for serene beauty, connecting our minds and touching our hearts.
