The Second Dalai Lama’s mystical poems and lyrical vision are permeated with the ecstasy of enlightenment, born of genuine selflessness. The Tibetan tradition of mystical verse is brought stunningly to life by renowned translator Glenn Mullin through these spontaneous outpourings of the ecstasy of enlightenment. Step into the visionary life of the outspoken and unconventional Second Dalai Lama, who was "crazed" by the wisdom of the nature of reality. Prefaced by an eminently readable and comprehensive introduction to the life and the times of this wise exponent of spiritual knowledge, these poems are shining lyrical illuminations of Buddhist life. Each is prefaced by a translator’s preamble. Glenn H. Mullin has chronicled a number of former Dalai Lamas through his superb translation and commentary. His reputation as a scholar of Tibetan Buddhism is recognized internationally.
