Description

The Sixth Dalai Lama (1683-1706) refused to take full monastic vows, returned the vows he had already taken, and loved women, alcohol and archery with a passion that perhaps suggests he had a premonition of his early death at the age of 24. He also wrote love poetry, poetry that has survived in a Tibetan world where secular verse generally does not, precisely because he was the Dalai Lama. In this fascinating and completely original book, Paul Williams aims to make the Sixth Dalai Lama and his verses accessible to those with no background in the study of Buddhism or Tibet. He also offers a completely new translation of the extant erotic poems, which reveal a rich and complex personality. This first translation to be based on the latest critical edition and accompanied by hints on how to read the verses, as well as explanations of obscure points or allusions, will be of great interest to those desiring to learn more about eastern religion and spirituality. dalai 0001.tif dalai 0002.tif dalai 0003.tif dalai 0004.tif dalai 0005.tif dalai 0006.tif dalai 0007.tif dalai 0008.tif dalai 0009.tif dalai 0010.tif dalai 0011.tif dalai 0012.tif dalai 0013.tif dalai 0014.tif dalai 0015.tif dalai 0016.tif dalai 0017.tif dalai 0018.tif dalai 0019.tif dalai 0020.tif dalai 0021.tif dalai 0022.tif dalai 0023.tif dalai 0024.tif dalai 0025.tif dalai 0026.tif dalai 0027.tif dalai 0028.tif dalai 0029.tif dalai 0030.tif dalai 0031.tif dalai 0032.tif dalai 0033.tif dalai 0034.tif dalai 0035.tif dalai 0036.tif dalai 0037.tif dalai 0038.tif dalai 0039.tif dalai 0040.tif dalai 0041.tif dalai 0042.tif dalai 0043.tif dalai 0044.tif dalai 0045.tif dalai 0046.tif dalai 0047.tif dalai 0048.tif dalai 0049.tif dalai 0050.tif dalai 0051.tif dalai 0052.tif dalai 0053.tif dalai 0054.tif dalai 0055.tif dalai 0056.tif dalai 0057.tif dalai 0058.tif dalai 0059.tif dalai 0060.tif dalai 0061.tif dalai 0062.tif dalai 0063.tif dalai 0064.tif dalai 0065.tif dalai 0066.tif dalai 0067.tif dalai 0068.tif dalai 0069.tif dalai 0070.tif dalai 0071.tif dalai 0072.tif dalai 0073.tif dalai 0074.tif dalai 0075.tif dalai 0076.tif dalai 0077.tif dalai 0078.tif dalai 0079.tif dalai 0080.tif dalai 0081.tif dalai 0082.tif dalai 0083.tif dalai 0084.tif dalai 0085.tif dalai 0086.tif dalai 0087.tif dalai 0088.tif dalai 0089.tif dalai 0090.tif dalai 0091.tif dalai 0092.tif dalai 0093.tif dalai 0094.tif dalai 0095.tif dalai 0096.tif dalai 0097.tif dalai 0098.tif dalai 0099.tif dalai 0100.tif dalai 0101.tif dalai 0102.tif dalai 0103.tif
