The family camps have been evolving at Amaravati for over ten years now and this collection is an attempt to recreate the spirit of camp "sounds" that have become familiar to the many participants over the years. This was recorded during the summer camp of 1999 and is the result of many people's input; not just those whose voices you hear but many more besides, with each adding to the spirit of these gatherings. This "sound summary" is offered in gratitude to all of them; monastic and lay, past and present.
Everyone who was on this camp will hear their voice (some may have to listen hard) but there were some who feature more prominently.
More information about the summer camp can be found at the Amaravati web site.
The translation of the talks have been downloaded from www.buddhamind.info other interesting information can also be found there.
The mp3 files have been converted to mono but most of them are above 500k, which means if you do not have a fast line, then it will take some time to download. Otherwise you can listen on line by using tthe real audio software- it can be download from here.
If you want a CD of chants, please contact Amaravati Tape Library.
