The 14th Dalai Lama is marking his 85th birthday by releasing his first ever album. The Tibetan spiritual leader, who celebrates the milestone Monday, hopes "Inner World" – an album of mantras and Buddhist teachings – will provide some tranquility amid the chaos of the coronavirus pandemic and global protests sparked by the death of George Floyd.

Magic Kingdom is the seventeenth studio album from award-winning and internationally-acclaimed harpist/ multi-instrumentalist/ composer Peter Sterling. Initially intended to be a children’s album for Sterling’s 7-year-old son, Micah, the music was inspired by the energy of the 2017 total solar eclipse. Sterling explains: “Magic Kingdom came thru a flash of light as I sat at my Korg keyboard and endeavored to express the potent energy of the sun into music. The music came thru quickly with one melodic groove following the next as if the music had been waiting for this moment to be born.” The eight tracks take listeners on a journey through the sun into a magical kingdom where they are given the opportunity to learn major life lessons and, once those are successfully completed, to be rewarded with eternal joy and bliss. Sterling performs on keyboards, harp, recorder, Freenote chime, Peruvian wooden flute and percussion. Richard Hardy appears on two tracks playing Irish penny whistle and soprano sax, and Anthony Mazzella plays guitar on two other tracks. Micah Sterling occasionally “sings” and the album is lovingly dedicated to him.

Gurumaa herself does not bear any allegiance to any one particular religion, she is beyond that but nevertheless expounds so fluently on all major religions. Her erudite commentaries on Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh and Sufi scriptures are immensely beautiful, profound yet lucid and easy to understand. She has devised numerous techniques to aid meditation, written several books of immense wisdom and given remarkably in depth eloquent discourses on saints from different backgrounds; from Kabir, Guru Nanak, Meerabai, Sahajobai to Rumi…and the list goes on!

No one would mistake Kemper Crabb for a modern man, and this is to his credit. You might mistake him for a medieval man born 700 years too late. His musical stylings are enough to evidence that fact. You might also mistake him for a Renaissance man. His breadth of knowledge and variety of skills are enough to evidence that fact. You might also mistake him for a postmodern Christian. His distaste for the philosophical errors of the modern era is enough to evidence that fact. He fits all of these categories and none of them at the same time. He is, in fact, a Christian man whose theological perspective is at once historical and contemporary.
