Songs of Shabkar: The Path of a Tibetan Yogi Inspired by Nature (Buddhist Art);

These deeply personal songs of realization by Nyingmapa yogi Shabkar Tshogdruk Rangdrol (1781–1851), composed in a simple yet richly poetic style, charm by their beauty and directness, often expressing the delights of nature. Drawn from the vast and mostly untranslated collection, The Festival of Melodious Songs, they have been organized thematically to reflect Shabkar's quest for spiritual awareness through renouncing the world and meditating in mountain hermitages.
