About the Artist

Sharon Wiener: singer/composer was born in Montreal, Quebec and currently lives in Toronto, Canada. After training for many years as a classical singer she began writing and recording meditative songs in 1994. She has been a meditation practitioner since 1993, greatly influenced by the Buddhist 'Dzogchen' teachings, and by other spiritual paths including Sufism, Taoism, and the work of Gurdjieff and Castaneda. Her songs have also been inspired by the ecstatic poetry of medieval mystics such as Rumi, Lalla, Attar, Hafiz, Mirabai, Izumi Shikibu, and Jehuda Halevi, and by the modern poetry of R.V. Ellis and Kavita.



Product Description

'One Bright Pearl' by Canadian artist Sharon Wiener, was recorded for the independent record label, One Bright Pearl Music. Ms. Wiener, who lives in Toronto, established the One Bright Pearl Music label in 1996 with the intention of creating music that invokes a state of 'presence' in the listener - a spacious, wide-awake, relaxed and compassionate state of awareness. The songs on this CD were inspired by and arose from her long-term meditation practice. The label/CD title One Bright Pearl comes from a Buddhist teaching on enlightenment by Zen Master Dogen: 'Thus the bright pearl, existing just so and being beginningless, transcends changes in time and place. The whole universe is one bright pearl.'

Canadian artist Sharon Wiener's debut CD 'One Bright Pearl' contains 13 original meditative songs for contemplation, healing and relaxation. The songs are for solo voice, some a cappella and others accompanied by well-known Canadian musician George Koller (from the Loreena McKennitt band) on sitar, sarod, esraj and bass. Some of the songs feature poetry by the medieval mystics Lalla, Attar and Izumi Shikibu.
