About this ebook
Tales of enlightenment that stem from the centuries-old oral Tibetan tradition, collected by one of the foremost American Buddhist teachers and scholars.
Introduction by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
This remarkable book brings together more than 150 authentic Buddhist teaching tales from the Hidden Kingdom of Tibet—most never before translated into English. These captivating stories, legends and yarns—passed orally from teacher to student—capture the vibrant wisdom of an ancient and still-living oral tradition. Magical, whimsical, witty and ribald, The Snow Lion’s Turquoise Mane unfolds a luminous vision of a universe where basic goodness, harmony, and hope prevail.
“This collection of more than 150 stories is the only such large anthology in the field of either Tibetan Buddhism or Himalayan folk and fairy tales, and provides unique reading material for both adults and children.” —Mu Soeng Sunim, Tricycle: The Buddhist Review
“These wonderful stories of wandering yogis and yak herders echo with uncommon sense and deep wisdom.” —Rick Fields, author of How the Swans Came to the Lake
