This misses the mark.  If you want to hear something really beautiful and haunting, I recommend you look up an actual Chod ritual being chanted by Tibetan nuns on youtube.  I've found a few that are pretty good.

+Yeshe Tharchin but what if there are no such persons within the vicinity? Many of us depend upon the internet to find such people with whom we can communicate and ask questions of, because we don't know where to find such teachers, or even if so, can ever have the possibility of physically being able meet with them. I too would like the lyrics and the translation of this chant. In fact of all the chants on this CD. I do wish producers of the CD would always enclose the lyrics and translations of the chants.

+gilyat  Hello gilyat.  We do enclose the lyrics and translation of the chants on our CD - as it is on this CD, 'Dakini - Buddhist Chants in Praise of the Sacred Feminine' which is available from our website www.medicinemusic.com.au. Meanwhile here is a more detailed translation of this particular chant: The Chod Prayer Om Machig Mala Solwa Deb (I invoke and unite with the mind of Machig Labdron) Ah Machig Mala Solwa Deb (I invoke and unite with the speech of Machig Labdron) Hung Machigmala Solwa Deb (I invoke and unite with the body of Machig Labdron)   Machig Labdron is one of the greatest female saints of Tibet and one of the founders of the Chod (cutting off ones ego and realising the true nature of things by offering one's body). This prayer invokes her blessings. This chant comes from the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. I hope that helps. blessings, IndiaJiva
