THE SPLENDOR OF AN AUTUMN MOON: The Devotional Verse of Tsongkhapa

trans. and intro. by Gavin Kilty

Presents for the first time twenty-one devotional poems by Tsongkhapa, in both the original Tibetan and in artful English translation.

"The poems translated here are some of the most inspiring verses ever written in the Tibetan language. In addition to evoking powerful sentiments, the poems help provide a glimpse into Tsongkhapa's deep humility and his passionate commitment to the ideals of altruism. These verses also help the reader to see what is truly human behind the legend that is such a towering figure in the history of Tibetan Buddhism."--Geshe Thupten Jinpa
