Ode to Tibet: Motherspeak
“I wrote this on the occasion of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu’s publication of the first volume of The Light of Kailash—when such an occasion arose and this Ode came together in a jumble of extravagance and love drawing on three decades interest in the country from which I benefited so much and in honor of the Master who has been a tireless steward of his country’s history and my inspiration.” – Jacqueline Gens
In Memory of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche
On the anniversary of the birthday of the One whose name is difficult to pronounce I recall his unfathomable qualities that remodeled mine and many other’s minds.
