The temple of sound

Today is a very special day for me. My home for the past 15 years, the Temple of Sound, just went on the market. This is a happy occasion because I get to live with my wonderful and beloved bride, Maria. At the same time, I know that I am parting with a uniquely sacred space.
​In December 2007, Global Chant hosted the Maitreya Project Heart Shrine Relic tour  (which has now ended) in Tucson. For four extraordinary nights, my home housed the relics of the Buddha and other Buddhist masters. These pearl-like crystals, called ringsel or Śarīra , are often found in the cremation ashes of enlightened beings. Each night, while a relic custodian guarded them with his life, the sacred relics sat on my bedroom altar, seen here:

That is when my home was transformed into the Temple of Sound. In the past 12 years, I have had every imaginable blessing come my way in this space, including an explosion of creative inspiration. I wrote all four of my books here: The Chanter's Guide, The Way of Play, Repose: The Potent Pause, and most recently Deep Creativity. I also recorded hundreds of chant videos, most recently my weekly Five-Minute Chant series:
And based on some calculations, I estimate that I have spent approximately 2500 hours chanting here. You can see why this is not just a home; it is undoubtedly the Temple of Sound. To find out more about this remarkable space, please check out the listings on Craigslist or Zillow (link will be posted here shortly).
