Description
Extended Information
These deeply personal songs of realization by Nyingmapa yogi Shabkar Tshogdruk Rangdrol, composed in a simple yet richly poetic style, charm by their beauty and directness, often expressing the delights of nature.
The superb translations are enhanced by Tibetan script, copious explanatory notes, a glossary of Buddhist terms, maps, and over fifty full-size color photos.
Songs of spiritual realization are known as gur. These are important to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, having both spiritual themes and at the same time directly reflecting the writer's personal experience. A simple example is:
...Stones and thorns both
Hurt my feet.
I could not avoid each stone and thorn.
I benefited by wearing shoes.
Lies and harsh words both
Hurt my mind.
I was not able to reply to each lie and insult.
I benefited from meditating on forgiveness.
