Abstract

This ornate poem, composed by Shelkar Lingpa (Shel dkar gling pa, 1876–1913) in the Indian hill station of Darjeeling, evokes everyday life in faraway Lhasa, even as it makes not- so-subtle barbs at the Chinese military that had forced him into exile. Read the introduction by Andrew Quintman and Kurtis R. Schaeffer.
