My name is Shenpenn Khymsar and I invite you to explore my work as a musician, filmmaker, writer and activist. My work is very spiritual but with a style that is intense, raw, and very worldly. Through my embrace of heavy metal music, buddhist philosophy and deep concern for human rights issues, I want to encourage people to go beyond conventional thinking and living, and open their eyes and hearts to music, films, people, places and ideas they have never had the courage to experience before. Only by traveling into uncharted waters of our soul do we truely know the world and our place in it.
Hit the music button below to hear a tribute song to the Dalai Lama, "Soul from the East" It is the first heavy metal song ever written for His Holiness, and it appeared on my first album, "BALANCE THE DARKSIDE." I recorded that it while working out of Toronto a few years back, but I'm currently working on a new album called, "Zindagi." Use the media player to hear additional tracks. The music style is a unique blend of heavy metal and Buddhist philosophy.
