Essential Heart, February 7, 2008
This review is from: Stallion on a Frozen Lake: Love Songs of the Sixth Dalai Lama (Paperback)
A series of brief poems of sexual desire, sexual fulfillment, sexual fragrance written by a young rapscallion Dali Lama of years ago, they capture the fun and juice of sex in one trained up to be an idol. Our Sixth Dali Lama dropped out of the monastery just as soon as he could and spread his fine body naked through the land. Every house whose daughter found his favor was proudly painted yellow! These poems celebrate the spirituality of the flesh without the devil. They are just wonderful. Coleman Barks, the principal translator of Rumi into English, has brought these poems into immediate life. Coleman Barks has a touch as though each of his words was a wand. He has brought forth the essential heart of lust like a flower brings forth its stamen, naturally, happily, and beautifully.
