From the Mind Treasure of the Nam Chö Great Perfection: The General Sadhana Format for Meditational Deity Generation
 
In a special session, a group of Palyul monks perform the Nam Chö general sadhana complete with all the instruments.  As requested, the monks perform the sadhana at the pace Westerners will likely commonly perform it (not at the breakneck speed the monks usually do!).  Videotaped with two cameras, picture-in-picture editing shows two views simultaneously during select sections of the sadhana, in particular during the cymbal patterns.  Excellent training tape for learning the Nam Chö general sadhana.  (Chödpon activities not included; a videotape of the chödpon activities is in the works.)

Dor Sem Lama Chöd Pa (Tashi Chöling)
