Synopsis:
The collected songs of Godrakpa (1170-1249), one of Tibet's great meditators and poets, who stressed a no-nonsense approach to meditation. With the Tibetan text and a comprehensive introduction to Godrakpa's life, legacy and poetry.
These autobiographical songs of realization by Godrakpa Sonam Gyeltsen, one of the great hermit yogins, reflect the refreshing, unmannered honesty and direct style characteristic of early Buddhist masters in Tibet.
"Cyrus Stearns sheds welcome light upon a figure of importance in the early development of Tibetan Buddhism. Though often mentioned in traditional histories, Godrakpa`s life and contributions have so far remained obscure. Stearn`s fine translations of his collected songs now reveal to us a master of yoga who, relying upon the plain speech of his own place and time, expressed ancient insights in a remarkably fresh voice." Matthew Kapstein.
"In these times when the practice of Dharma often becomes yet another type of mundane activity, the total dedication to spiritual practice, renunciation, inner joy and depth that emanates from the life and songs of Godrakpa is like a fresh mountain breeze." Matthieu Ricard. |
