Who is he, this poet who would laugh at being mixed up with others, but whose fragility distances him from everyone, who is amused by what is said but cannot make himself understood, who is intoxicated by his freedom but cannot take a single step without suffering? Tshanyang Gyatsho was born in Tibet in 1683, the year the Fifth Dalai Lama died. Two years later, he was recognized as the latter's reincarnation. But he continued to work in the fields until his enthronement in his fifteenth year. Perhaps it was this lack of monastic instruction that led him to rebel against all protocol and indulge in the pleasures of drunkenness and the flesh, earning him a reputation as a libertine. And it is through these songs of love, more than in religious practice, that the spiritual blossoming of the Sixth Dalai Lama is revealed.
