Hermit of Go Cliffs: Timeless Instructions from a Tibetan Mystic de Ko-Brag-Pa

Hermit of Go Cliffs: Timeless Instructions from a Tibetan Mystic

Autor Ko-Brag-Pa, Ko-Brag-Pa Bsod-Nams-Rgyal-Mtshan Traducere de Cyrus Stearns
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2000
The great Tibetan meditation master Gyalwa Godrakpa (1170-1249) practiced and taught a nonsectarian approach to realization. "Hermit of Go Cliffs" is the first English translation of "The Collected Songs of Godrakpa," presented here with the original Tibetan text and with Cyrus Stearns' comprehensive introduction to Godrakpa's life, legacy, and poetry.
Like the songs of Tibet's great saint Milarepa, Godrakpa's songs are uniquely beautiful and accessible: sometimes stern and sharp, sometimes lyrical and filled with allusions to the natural world. These songs express what Godrakpa emphasized in his life - a no-nonsense approach to the practice of meditation.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Gyalwa Godrakpa (1170-1249) was a great Tibetan meditation master who practiced and taught a nonsectarian approach to realization. Hermit of Go Cliffs is the first English translation of The Collected Songs of Godrakpa. These forty-four songs are presented here with the original Tibetan text, and Prof. Stearns' comprehensive introduction to the life, legacy, and poetry of Godrakpa.

Godrakpa's songs of realization are uniquely beautiful and accessible, and reminiscent of the poetry of his great predecessor Milarepa. His style is direct and simple: sometimes stern and sharp in tone, and sometimes lyrical and filled with allusions to the surrounding landscape and wildlife. Godrakpa expresses in his songs what he emphasized in his life -- a no-nonsense approach to the practice of meditation. He speaks repeatedly of impermanence, imminent death, and the danger of wasting time. He points to the meaningful goal of recognizing true reality within each person. Hermit of Go Cliffs will inspire students of Buddhism and meditation, and anyone interested in the poetic expression of experience.
