Chinnamundā "Laughter Of The Skygoers"

Zazen Sounds release:

"Ritual Dark Ambient.
Chinnamundā is the solo side project of Greg

Watkins from Static of Masses and is inspired by the philosophies and

world views found in Buddhism and Bön.

A single 38 minute track

consisting of 7 movements related to the parts of the Chöd ritual from

“The Laughter of the Khandros, The Offering of the Body”, a popular Chöd

practice among Bönpos today. In Chöd, the general concept is to cut.

This can be seen as cutting through ego, or cutting through demonic

objects (obstacles to liberation/enlightenment) It is all related to

cutting through attachment to the body as self. The sādhana involves

grisly visualizations of the practitioner's body being dismembered and

fed to various beings of existence."
