In this special Facebook Live broadcast, two of the best-known living poets of Tibet — Tsering Kyi and Jangbu — are joined by Tenzin Wangyal in reciting from their bodies of work. The broadcast will be in Tibetan with simultaneous translation to English.

Tsering Kyi will read four of her poems, entitled “རྒྱང་རིང་། (Far Away),” “མེ་ལྕེ་དང་རྣམ་ཤེས་འཐབ་པར་རྗེས་དྲན་ཞུ། (The Recollection of the Battle Between the Flame and Consciousness),” “གྱེས་རྗེས་ན་ཟུག་བྱུང་། (The agony Occurred After the Separation),” and “རྣམ་ཤེས་ཀྱི་རྨུ་ཐག (The Sacred String of Consciousness).” From her perspective as a Tibetan woman, she will speak about her experiences in exile.

Jangbu (Dorje Tsering Chenaktsang) will read his poem “དྲན་པ་ཆུ་མིག་ཡང་སོས། (The Reawakening of the Fountain of Memory)” and share from his experience as a Tibetan and refugee who now divides his life between France and Tibet.

Tenzin Wangyal will read his recently published poem “ང་སུ་རེད། (Who Am I?).” He will discuss how poetry can be a sacred expression of spiritual wisdom gained through meditation practice.
