He's got the flow :-)
Ich habe von meinem Yogalehrer nach inbrünstiger Bitte eine wunderschöne CD bekommen, auf der man den Dalai Lama (mit seinen Mönchen) beim singen hören soll.
Die CD hat den Titel «At the bedside Havel» und als Interpret ist «Oum Kalthoum» angegeben. Oum Kalthoum ist eine ägyptische Sängerin und ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass diese Angabe komplett falsch ist.
Ein .pdf mit dem Titel Dalai_Lama_Chanting.pdf gibt dafür meines Erachtens bessere Auskunft: Es handelt sich in Wirklichkeit um das gesungene Mantra «Maha Mrityunjaya» auch bekannt unter dem Namen «Tryambakam». Wer je Gelegenheit hat, diese CD anzuhören soll es tun. Das Mantra ist - ohne es hier verklären zu wollen - sehr eindringlich und wunderschön!

Maha Mṛtyunjaya Mantra (sprich: Maha Mritjundschaja Mantra)
(Maha = gross, Mrityunjaya = Sieg über den Tod)

Aussprache:
OM traiam-bakam jadschaamaHe
sugandHim puschti wardHanam
urwaarukamiwa bandHanaan
mritjor-mukschiija maamritaat OM
Folgende Hinweise dienen zur Erleichterung:
H = alle "H" werden auch nach Konsonanten deutlich hörbar gehaucht
dsch = weich aussprechen wie im englischen «Jim» oder «joy»
aa oder ii = zwei Vokale hintereinander werden betont und langgezogen ausgesprochen

Anhören kann man das Mantra, allerdings nicht die oben erwähnte Version, auf der Website Swami Omkarananda's Auf der Website gibt es auch noch eine gute Übersetzung! Weitere gute Informationen auf Wikipedia.
Nach weiterem Research habe ich auf David Morgan's Website noch folgende Informationen gefunden:
«Dear Visitor,
This bootleg recording has been circulating now for decades. It came into my possession the way it comes to most people - a yoga friend gave me a burned CD with the following written on it by hand: «Dalai Lama's Chant to Heal All Illness: Please Distribute.» I immediately fell in love with this powerful chant, and the story that came with it was certainly compelling. Here's how it goes:
The Dalai Lama had a friend who was dying, and he chanted this healing mantra at his bedside. His Holiness at first refused to allow it to be recorded, but then relented on the condition that it never be sold.
What a great story. Unfortunately, it's not true. First, the recording was meant to be sold (all those bootlegged cassettes, CDs, and mp3s made over the years are illegal copies which infringe the chanter's copyright). And secondly, the person chanting is not the Dalai Lama. It is Hein Braat, a Dutch performer and devoted practitioner of mantra yoga.» Read on...

«Possible» because they are not strict rules but a help to create good haiku.
A good haiku poet would, so my personal opinion, probably also automatically keep to following rules:
a) no involvement of believe-systems in the way of "this is the only true belief-system"
b) no (or only few, specially chosen) references to his / her own ego / false self
c) no active exclusion of or aversion against any topic, that has to do with real life (in clear words: if somebody would write a good haiku with the topic of shitting, pissing, making love, dying, masturbating, killing, sickness, pornography, sexual abuse, corpses, cannibalism, drug consume... that fullfills rule number 1. of this article, a good haiku poet would most probably accept it as is and not reject it nor feel inside him- / herself any aversion against such a haiku)
d) a contemporary, good haiku poet might also accept a word as kigo word, that has not a relation to the seasons but to ANY expression of circular time perception (in contrast to, for example, linear time perception).
- Aim of the haiku is to create a so called «haiku moment». A moment, that should happen inside the reader, a little lightning bolt for a moment, a mini-satori, an awakening, a moment where the window opens and the reader becomes the current going through...
- seventeen syllables in the form of 5-7-5
- or seventeen syllables or less structured in
- three lines
- use a kigo, a word indicating the season. if possible use not more than one kigo per haiku
- write in the present tense
- use a simple language
- the topic should be nature (or «human's surrounding nature»)
- no methaphors, no word-plays, no word-inventions
- show, don't tell (http://www.haiku.insouthsea.co.uk/teachshow_s1.htm)
- keep it as short as possible (letters, syllables, words)
- no word repetitions
- use no filling words
- describe something, that could be an observable scene in real life, something that you lived yourself or that you imagine (no phantasies like "then she defeated the dragon with the fireball")
- make the haiku moment unique by describing a situation, that everybody knows deep in their heart but no haiku poet described before you.
