Rain of Wisdom

Rain of Wisdom - Thryft
Rain of Wisdom - Thryft

Profound spiritual songs, direct insight in Rain of Wisdom.

Rain of Wisdom could be a good read for people who are interested in Tibetan Buddhism and want to deepen their understanding of spiritual practices. This book is unique because it contains over 100 profound songs composed by great teachers of the Kagyu Lineage, which are still recited aloud every year on the New Year. The vivid imagery and deep insight in the songs communicate timeless truth in a direct way, making it easy for readers to comprehend.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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. It has been reprinted in cloth in response to demand by Buddhist practitioners.
