AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"The life and poetry of the Sixth Dalai Lama, Tsangyang Gyatso (1683-1706), are unique in the lineage of the Dalai Lama. He refused to take full monastic vows and returned to the world, loving alcohol, archery, and women with a passion that perhaps suggests that he had a premonition of his early death at the age of twenty-four. The 120 poems included here are like small windows through which one glimpses the life he led. Most of them are made up of four unrhymed lines of six syllables each, yielding something between the Japanese haiku and the Chinese jueju (quatrain) in their brevity."--BOOK JACKET.Waters, Geoffrey is the author of 'White Crane Love Songs of the Sixth Dalai Lama', published 2007 under ISBN 9781893996823 and ISBN 1893996824.
