Three Songs of Gotshangpa, translated by Tony Duff:
Gotshangpa was one of the great lineage masters of the Drukpa Kagyu. His name means "Mr. Vulture Nest". He was a
repa, a yogi who wore only a thin cotton cloth despite the extreme cold of Tibet. He took to living up on a rocky
crag with vultures, as his place for practice. He was very famous for his songs of realization and his life story
is essentially a grand compilation of these songs, similar to
the Songs of Milarepa. The PDF here is for free download and contains translations of three songs of
Gotshangpa. The songs were translated for Khenpo Tsultrim Gyatso and used for teaching his students. Some of the
songs were later changed by another translator so that they could be put to music though, unfortunately, the
meaning was distorted by doing so. The translation here is the original one and does
reflect the Tibetan exactly. Includes Tibetan text.
