Launch of Dharma Tunes

A launch was held for Dharma Tunes Volume 1 hymn book on National Day at Maha Karuna Buddhist Association by Ven. B. Sri Saranankara Nayaka Maha Thera, Adhikarana Sangha Nayaka, Malaysia. Setenang community came together to support this event.

The Dharma Tunes hymn book was an effort led by Bro. Chong Su Lim, the Editor-in-Chief of this publication. The objective is to put together a hymn book that contains full music notation for piano, lyrics and guitar chords. As such this would help in the propagation of Dharma through music and as also enrich the activities of Sunday Dharma School.

Dharma Tunes Volume 1 is published by Setenang Community. The first printing is for 1,000 copies that will be distributed to Buddhist Societies free-of-charge. We require RM 10,000 for this effort to defray the costs of music notation, layout design, song recording, mastering and printing. So far, we have collected about half of the required amount. Therefore, your support and contribution are much appreciated to make this landmark publication a reality.May the Blessings of the Triple Gem be with you always.

Work on Dharma Tunes Vol. 2 will start soon. If you would like to contribute Buddhist musical material or support this effort, you are most welcome. Please e-mail to: sulimc@yahoo.com.
