TILOPA plays the Japanese flute called kyotaku, from the Zen Buddhist honkyoku musical tradition. This flute is sometimes called the Zen flute in the USA. Tilopa has studied quite a wide range of different musical instruments since early childhood (recorder flutes, violin, guitar, piano, dillruba, svarmandal, santoor, and so on), but found his real love about 20 years ago when he met with the kyotaku and his flute master Koku Nishimura in Kumamoto, Japan. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/

Tilopa (Prakrit; Sanskrit: Talika or Tilopadā) was a Buddhist tantric mahasiddha who lived in northeast India around the 10th century -- perhaps from 988 to 1069 though from 928 to 1009 is also suggested. The information of his life comes from spiritual biographies or hagiographies where actual biographical details are few and the texts concentrate on spiritual growth of an individual. The earliest of these hagiographies was composed during the 11th century.
