Poetry: Recitations for the Tantric CollegePaperback, 16 September 2010

This selection of poetry come from the classic work on the lives of the masters of the Lam Rim lineage: Biographies of the Lamas of the Teachings on the Steps of the Path to Enlightenment, written by Yongdzin Yeshe Gyeltsen, Tsechok Ling, Tutor to His Holiness the Eighth Dalai Lama. They were written throughout Lobsang Chukyi Gyeltsen long life from the age of 14, and convey the inner progress of the First Panchen Lama in developing the steps of the path to enlightenment. It also illustrates how he conducted his life and practice in the external world. In that sense, these poems are a real example for us to follow, and this selection was chosen to relate to particular lam rims, or steps of the path, that we ourselves are working on.
