The Divine Madman is the first biography to appear in the West of a Tibetan Crazy Adept "at work". This is the "secret biography" of one of Tibet's foremost saints, the Buddha Drukpa Kunley. Heralded by the people of Tibet as a "Crazy Wise" teacher and enlightened Master, Kunley's outrageous behavior and ribald humor awakened common people and yogis alike from the sleep of religious dogmatism and egoic self-possession. This book is a compilation of anecdotes and songs still passed on to this day in the taverns and temples of Tibet and Bhutan.Dowman, Keith is the author of 'Divine Madman The Sublime Life and Songs of Drukpa Kunley' with ISBN 9780913922750 and ISBN 0913922757.
