A handsome young Tibetan lama, has emerged on Taiwan's music scene by releasing his first CD- a collection of rap and hip-hop songs which he claims can help promote Buddhism. Singa Rinpoche (Sheng Karma Rinpoche), 30, released the CD - Wish You Well - through Taiwan's Forward Music company. Singa signed a contract with Forward Music in April 2006 and began recording at a Beijing studio in July 2006. Most of the 12 songs on the CD were written and composed by a Taiwan musician and two were written and composed by Singa. The songs are: Reincarnation, Wish You Well, Let Me Take Care of You, Fashion, It's the Light, Girl Quji Zhuoma, Starting to Realize, Leave Love to You, Today, Lama Chino. In the songs, Singa mixes rap and hip-hop with chants of Buddhist sutras, and switches from Chinese to Tibetan and English. The songs deal mostly with love, but he also preaches his philosophy. The song Leave Love to You has this rap line: "All the pain in this world is caused by seeking happiness for himself / All the joy in this world is caused by seeking happiness for others. " Vajrasattva (Tib. dorje sempa) means "diamond being." He represents the innate purity of the mind. 100-Syllable Mantra of Vajrasattva : Om Benza Sato Samaya, Manu Palaya Benza Sato Tei No Pa, Tisthira Dridho Me Bawa Suto Khayo Mei Ba Wa, Anu Rakto Me Ba Wa, Su Po Khayo Mei Ba Wa Sar Wa Siddhi Mei Pra Yatsa, Sarwa Karma Sutsa Me, Tsi Tam Shri Yam Kuru Hung, Ha Ha Ha Ha Ho Bagawan Sarwa Tathagata Hri Daya, Benza <b>...</b>
