“Rising from the highest mountaintop is the bright and glamorous moon. It reminds me of the smile of Makye Ama, which shines in the depths of my heart.”
The poem was said to have been written by Tsangyang Gyatso, who caught sight of a stunningly beautiful girl after stealing out of Potala Palace one evening and drinking at a wine shop at the Barkhor Bazaar.
Later, he returned in disguise to the shop several times, but never saw the girl again.
Today, nobody knows for sure whether the story is true or not. But the wine shop, which the sixth Dalai Lama is said to have frequented, has become famous with travelers to Tibet from home and abroad.
This website is dedicated to Tsangyang Gyatso, the sixth Dalai Lama. We’ll be posting verses and songs of Kelsang Gyatso, the seventh Dalai Lama and Gendun Gyatso, the second Dalai Lama. Lets share beautiful poems, verses and stories of the Dalai Lama.
Ofcourse even you can share your writings. Its all feeling of love and being loved. – Rootless Wanderer
