Rain of wisdom (Shambhala Publications Inc)

The tradition of composing spontaneous songs that express spiritual understanding has existed in Tibet for centuries. Over one hundred of these profound songs are found in this collection of the work of some of the greatest teachers of the Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. With their vivid imagery and deep insight, the songs in this book communicate in a very direct way profound and timeless insight. "The Rain of Wisdom" is read aloud in its entirety by Tibetan Buddhists every year on the New Year.
