Books and music

This is two lists of books and music which I feel formed a part of my self prior to the moment of bliss I experienced. Reading them may therefore help you on any road to bliss that may exist. I cannot guarantee they will as my experience may have been unique and indeed Tibetan Buddhism has a tradition that many paths to enlightenment exist. The list may help you, it may not and there again you may not be interested in traveling such a path so might like to avoid reading them. The list will extend as I recall them
