Tibetan secular history was preserved and passed on from generation to generation through ritualized dances which were told through song, dance and music. The Artistic Director of the Chaksampa Tibetan Dance and Opera Company, Tsering Wangmo, and Nirabhra Taylor, Dance Manager of the Vajrayana Foundation have collaborated to stage and record a most famous and historical work from the Biography of King Gesar the Great Lion: 'The Awe Inspired Laughter of the Dance of Ling, A Symphony of Ecstasy' revealed by Mipham Rinpoche as a pure vision terma. It was revised and expanded by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, Jigdral Yeshe Dorje. This is an epic poetic song about the 11th century Tibetan King "Gesar of Ling" and his heroic battles against demons. ~ Opera Singers: Tsering Wangmo, Dolma Chodron, Yontan C Dhongsair, Sonom Tsering, Tashi Dhondu, Chemey Y Dhongsar and Sonom Pelmo
This text has been translated into English for the performance by Jacob Archuletta and Cyril Kassoff with the aide of Sandy Wilcox for Tibetan text input.
Tibetan and Nepali tailors have been commissioned to make the authentic costumes, headgear and shoes. Tsering Wangmo and Nirabhra Taylor are teaching the dances to local young men and woman - both Tibetan and Western.
Members of the Vajrayana Foundation who have been trained and skilled in playing the Tibetan musical instruments will accompany the performers.
Artists will perform this epic legend in the traditional manner, at the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual center of the Vajrayana Foundation, in the Santa Cruz Mountains,
