The divine madman Drukpa Kunley, Tibetan Tantric Yogi (Paperback)

Customer Review

It is the fictionalized biography of a great mystic known in Bhutan.

What there is of individuals, it is the mixture of great realities amid constant references to sex, beer, provocative joke (for the clergy etc.).

Finally, it Drukpa is a form of divine madman who reveals the absurd in what seems so consistent, makes daylight hypocrisies, mental rigidity, lack of life, joy and fears of the clergy in their ossified small box.

It also bears a certain level danecdotes symbolic number (beer can represent devotion, beautiful girl lends consciousness to receive the Spirit, children born a new vision of the world that brings out the spirit but must be integrated one giant sex the masculine principle united to depth of the earth and mastered the demons evil forces related to the well by the force of the wise etc ...)

This is a refreshing book, which seems to me also make parties readings tell ritual because it has the form: various invocation to the beginning of each chapter, blessing at the end of the book, the fruit of the declaration and the recitation study of the text etc ...

This is an amazing book, but I found beneficial, especially if one also perceives the subtle in what seems rude (the symbolic meaning) and the coarseness of the old realities into rigid dogmas and imprisoned the mind .

I recommend.
