Lama Tashi

喇嘛扎西的嗓音特别独特，以至于很多科学家都为之困惑，之前有一些科学家曾认真研究过他的歌喉，记录下他的声音并作成图象进行分析，令科学家们不解的是，喇嘛扎西怎么能够一个人发出一般来说只有几名歌手同时发声才能产生的多音和弦。   印度宗教音乐的杰出代表 Sharon Lowen女士评价说，“如此美丽的唱颂本是藏传佛教修行的一部分，当然这同样也是一种独特的音乐形式，这种音乐会引起听者极大的共鸣，无论是在印度或者西藏的寺院里，或者美国的任何一个地方，只要听到这优美的音律和声音就会感觉到内在的愉悦。   Ngawang Tashi Bapu (born 1968), also known as Lama Tashi, is a former Principal Chant Master of the Dalai Lama.
