Book Synopsis
A comprehensive collection of poems in both the original Tibetan and in English translation. It composes hymns to the Buddha, pithy instructions for the practice of the dharma, stirring tributes to the Tibetan warrior-kings, cynical reflections on the ways of the world, and laments of a wanderer, forgotten in a foreign land.
