This book is not just another study of the notorious Sixth Dalai Lama (1683-1706). It is in fact a critical introduction to the very institution of the Dalai Lama itself and the concept of reincarnation that is its basis. Williams' book presents a haunting picture of the tragedy that became the life of the young Dalai lama in 17th Century Tibet. His translations help us to appreciate the songs for what they really are - the yearnings and frustrations of a restless, yet deeply human heart - and to gain insights into Tibetan Buddhism. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The Sixth Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso (1683-1706), refused to take full monastic vows, returned the vows that he had already taken, and loved alcohol, archery, and women with a passion that perhaps suggests he had a premonition of his early death at the age of twenty-four. He also wrote a remarkable collection of love poetry. In this book, the author offers a completely new translation of the erotic poems attributed to the Sixth Dalai Lama. With hints on how to read the verses, as well as explanations of obscure points or allusions, the author makes this extraordinary Dalai Lama and his verses accessible to those with no background in the study of Buddhism or Tibet. This first translation to be based on the latest critical edition will be of great interest to those eager to learn more about Eastern religion and spirituality.
