Sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan, along with his sons Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash, have united with the Dalai Lama for a unique musical project, "Meditations: Reflections of His Holiness the Dalai Lama". This album, released on August 29, 2025, blends spoken reflections by the Dalai Lama with music, aiming to spread a message of peace, compassion, kindness, and hope.

The album features the Dalai Lama, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, alongside Amjad Ali Khan, sarod virtuosos Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash, and multi-Grammy and Emmy Award-winning producer, author, and composer Kabir Sehgal. It also includes collaborations with artists from diverse musical backgrounds, such as Grammy-winning singer Andra Day, saxophonist Ted Nash, Costa Rican singer-songwriter Debi Nova, singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers, percussionist Tony Succar, and Canadian-American musician Rufus Wainwright. Glassnote Records is involved in the project, ensuring a broad reach to global audiences.

"Meditations: Reflections of His Holiness the Dalai Lama" weaves together spoken word and sound, presenting meditative insights paired with music. It celebrates shared human values and reflects both India's classical heritage and international traditions, highlighting the universality of the Dalai Lama's message.

Amjad Ali Khan and his sons expressed their humility in sharing this collaboration with the Dalai Lama, who they consider a guiding light. They stated that his message of peace and compassion has inspired their music and lives for many years and that creating the project with Kabir Sehgal has been a privilege. They hope the music will serve as a reminder of the importance of peace, kindness, and hope.

Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash represent the seventh generation of the Senia Bangash School of music. They are known for carrying forward their musical legacy while remaining in sync with tradition and contemporary times. Ayaan Ali Bangash first performed with his father at the Dalai Lama's Sacred Music Festival inauguration in 2000.

The album consists of ten tracks: Heart, Oneness, Harmony, Kindness, Water, Mind, Health, Peace, Essence, and Journey. Maggie Rogers noted she was "very honored" to be on the project, adding that all proceeds will benefit the Dalai Lama's foundation, which promotes basic human values, mutual understanding among religions, peace and non-violence, and environmental protection.
