An album featuring teachings and mantras by the Dalai Lama set to music will be released on July 6, his 85th birthday. Inner World features 11 tracks and will be released in conjunction with a companion booklet.

The religious leader recites the mantras of seven Buddhas on the album, discussing topics like wisdom, courage, healing and children.

The track Compassion, one of the most famous Buddhist prayers, was released on Tuesday. Grammy-nominated sitar player Anoushka Shankar makes a guest appearance on the record, playing on Ama La, a track honouring mothers.

Shankar said being invited to perform on the album was “a huge honour”. She first met the Dalai Lama as a child with her father, the revered musician Ravi Shankar.
