Dalai Lama releases album marking his 85th birthday 

The World

This week, to celebrate his 85th birthday, the Dalai Lama released an 11-track album called “Inner World.” The album includes his mantras and teachings, all set to a relaxing bed of music. This is the Dalai Lama’s first album, as he has rarely ventured into the music world, but the work has been a long time coming. The World’s Bianca Hillier reports.
