Zazen - Kari Tieger

About Me

Buddhist monk Eric Lagarrigue met Kari on aol in the Cafe Philo chatroom in February of 2006. When he learned that she practiced yoga, he quickly struck up a conversation and expressed interest in her music. Having purchased her CDs, he became convinced that she was The Voice he had been seeking to communicate the message of zazen.One year later they had collaborated on this synergistic bilingual guided meditation CD, which was "born" (released) on Valentine's Day. English speakers who listen to the French version after first hearing it in their native tongue, say that they don't really need to understand the individual words -- that the dual soundwaves of the Ocean and the French language actually help them to meditate.*************************************************** ************Moine bouddhiste Eric Lagarrigue a rencontre Kari sur aol en Cafe Philo en fevrier 2006. Quand il a appris qu'elle pratiquait le yoga, il lui a parle et s'est interesse a sa musique. Ayant commande ses CDs, il etait convaincu que ce soit elle la Voix pour communiquer le message du zazen.En fevrier 2007, le jour de la St. Valentin, un CD bilingue collaboratif est "ne." Les anglophones qui ecoutent le francais apres avoir entendu l'anglais, disent qu'ils n'ont pas besoin de le comprendre mot par mot; que seules les vagues de l'Ocean et la langue francaise aident a mediter.
