[ebooks] The New Breed Edition: Systems for the Development of Your Own Creativity by Gary Chester at Arts-Photography

Description

This collection of Tibetan poetry and lyrics is accompanied by extensive commentary and offers a great insight into a rich literary culture.Tibet; remote and inaccessible; is less known to the western world for its literary than its artistic contributions to world culture. Nevertheless; it has produced a literature of enduring beauty and significance; the supreme achievement of which is the poetry of Milarepa; its greatest poet and saint.This Tibetan poetry book indicates in its poetic exaggeration that; to the Tibetans; his poetry contains all earthly and celestial wisdom. It is from this masterpiece that the selections for the present volume have been mademdash;songs in which Milarepa describes his life in the solitude of mountain glaciers; his yogic attainments in self-discipline; his encounters with demons who try to obstruct his meditations; and his arrival at enlightenment and spiritual freedom.Presented here in skillful translationmdash;in a volume decorated with original Tibetan woodcuts and motifs from Tibetan artmdash;these poems shiningly reflect the genius of Tibets "Old Man; Storehouse of Songs."
