These deeply profound songs of experience by the Gelukpa scholar and siddha Kälden Gyatso (1607-1677) express high levels he attains and low points and inner struggles along his spiritual path. Drawn from his Collected Gur, two hundreds and forty-two songs, they have been organized thematically to reflect his rigorous quest for Buddhahood. Experts in Tibetology, lovers of poetry, and spiritual seekers from any tradition will be uplift by these songs.
The superb translations are enhanced by tibetan scrip, copious explanatory notes, a glossary of Buddhist terms, maps, and fifty full-size coclor photos taken around his hermitage in Amdo on the very edge of the Tibetan plateau.
