Original Language: Tibetan
From Library Journal
This translation of the second Dalai Lama's (1475-1542) poetry carries an inner joy and beauty: for instance, "Her silken shawl a forest of evergreens, gently trembling in the cool mountain breeze" describes the Dvakpo region in southern Tibet. A highly qualified Tibetan translator, Mullin researched the archives in Dharamsala, the spiritual headquarters of the Dalai Lamas, for over 20 years. He divides his work into three parts. Part 1 elucidates the Dalai Lama's lineage and central Buddhist concepts. Part 2 is based on the second Dalai Lama's autobiography and Wish-Fulfilling Tree , a 16th-century work by his disciples'; Mullin's rendering of the life of Gendun Gyatso, as the second Dalai Lama is known, is superb. Part 3 provides the background for each poem. In addition, the present Dalai Lama provides an insightful foreword in which he states that Gendun Gyatso was the greatest of the early Dalai Lamas. These charming, wise, and songful teachings are highly recommend ed.
