1995 DADAWA sister　drum
Sister drum lyrics：Dumb as she had been a girl,My sister left her home while I was green,She has been at my heart ever since,O my sister. Till I am as old as she used to be ,I recognize her heart all of sudden.So I`m looking looking for her day after day,O my sister.An old man sits at the mani ruins ,Reciting the same words time and again, An Ma Ni Ba Mi Hong,An Ma Ni Ba Mi Hong.Dumb as she had been a girl,My sister left her home while I was green,She has been at my heart ever since,O my sister. Till I am as old as she used to be ,I recognize her heart all of sudden.So I`m looking looking for her day after day,O my sister.Here comes from the horizon drumming after drumming,It`s my sister talking to me,An Ma Ni Ba Mi Hong,An Ma Ni Ba Mi Hong.

Love this song and video! Used to watch it back in '95 on "Channel V". Is there a DVD available with Dadawa's videos?

[fitqq]

No，this is from internet

[mustainelj]

Believe it or not, this song is about a girl who's singing that her elder sister left home

when she was young, and she missed her, until some day she heard that drum beats from the sky, she knew that this sound is her sister speaking to her. The implication is that the skin of her sister was used to make drum skin.

The story is sung in this song, not told by communist party, ok? And I believe you can also find such information in western website.

Stunning song.. Dadawa's 4 albums are true works of art and bliss to enjoy.

Tibetans didn't like it. Diaspora tibetans that is. Tibetans in Tibet have other concerns.

The story about the virgin skin drum is an urban myth. So there, sod off, wumao army.

《大涅槃經》中說:[諸田業中秋實勝,一切跡中象跡勝,一切想中­,無常及死想,是為最勝。]；又漢傳印光大師云:[學道之人念念­不忘死字，道業自成] 緣於念死能生真正出離心的佛說聖教，為了實踐故，西藏的法器中，­自有許多令行者增道念的[道具]: 骷髏碗、人骨笛、人骨念珠等~~無知、惡心的[心外求法者]卻硬­要將其斥為外道，真令人心寒呀!

阿姐鼓是在西藏解放前，头人们用少女的皮制作的鼓，而且必须是一­个纯洁善良的处女的整张的人皮。是头人们从选中的奴隶身上扒下来­的。

不完整？

[TangTiantian1990]

It's their tridition to use human's skin, bone and innards make dharma-vessel

[Phyllis Le Chat]

if I hadn't heard you guys saying that this song was about a skinned girl being made into a drum, I would only have thought it was some sort of mythopoetic tale. watching the video and listening to the lyrics, I still think it's about losing someone and then hearing them speak through an object. I've had the same experience with my deceased father.

[sayangnegara1]

you are utterly wrong. It is not human sacrifice. This created story is saying that, after the girl natural death of the girl, her skin was used to make drums.

First precept of Buddishm, is NO Killing. Definitely is NOT human sacrifice.
