Puja for a funeral

When I was staying in the village of Langjo Pakha, north of Thimphu, Bhutan, I had the privilege of taking a field recording of a funeral puja for a deceased woman and former neighbor of my host, Darlene Ricker. Every morning the monks and lamas would arrive to chant and pray for her passage. The following is the sound I would hear every morning from the other side of the wall shared by the two flats.
