Shimmering with double meanings and seeming tautologies, Dragpa Gyaltsen’s verses resound with insights thrown out like bolts of lightning.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Beloved teacher Khenpo Migmar Tseten’s newly updated translation of Dragpa Gyaltsen’s \u003ci\u003eGreat Song\u003c\/i\u003e brings these verses to life with a clarity and immediacy that belies the underlying challenge that these verses pose to our ordinary ways of thinking and being.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In his extensive verse-by-verse commentary, Khenpo Migmar unravels Dragpa Gyaltsen’s terse, enigmatic verses with clarity and humor, bringing Rinpoche’s ecstatic realization and pointed insights into conversation with twenty-first-century concerns, showing how the experiential teachings of a twelfth-century Tibetan yogi can help us understand and counteract the modern pressures of wanton consumerism, greed and inequality, isolation and loneliness, and environmental degradation. Khenpo Migmar’s insightful commentary opens the door to the radical vision presented by Dragpa Gyaltsen’s poetic teachings, showing us a view of the mind without center or limits, as bright as the sun, and clear and open as space.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In addition to Khenpo Migmar’s extensive verse-by-verse commentary, the book includes facing-page English and Tibetan editions of the root text of \u003ci\u003eGreat Song of Experience\u003c\/i\u003e, and the laudatory poem \u003ci\u003ePraise to Jetsun Rinpoche Dragpa Gyaltsen\u003c\/i\u003e by Dragpa Gyaltsen’s nephew and student, the great Sakya Pandita (1182–1251).","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57213995876734,"sku":"NW9781614298960","price":16.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781614298960.jpg?v=1778543175","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/lions-roar-of-a-yogipoet","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
