I have requested to join zoom green tara pujas in richmond, BC at a sakya  vancouver temple from tibetan buddhism. I truly had the most amazing mind experience in tibetan buddhism and visualizations being nutty here in 2020. Turly, it was grand though unbearable on a daily basis. This chod ceremony is way more disciplined than my visualizations back then when I was nuts. It is mild and harmonious, kind and gentle. And the chaos from the chod drums is great pleasure. Cutting through the ego it is called this practice. It comes from the 11th century and is based on the prajnaparamitas or Perfection of wisdom sutras. 

I love the repetition of the pujas. And the chaos of loud discordant instruments such as bells, cymbals and drums. I cant quite imagine myself singing 7 hours a day every day such prayers though like nuns do. This chod ceremony is over 2 hours. I am on cd 2 right now. I heard the first one twice, today. I see it as simple blessings on our abode to listen to chod pujas and mahakala pujas and pray and meditate to them. I have forwarded to the end of the cd 2 to the prayer and dedication.  The music was too loud. This is more soothing. No music, just voices. No musical instruments I mean. It is very nice this end of cd 2. It is a very long ceremony. i also have 13 hours of meditational instructions from Thubten Chodron.
