CHINESE and ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS

This book of poems is created by using 'Sakya' Gnomic verses. It's an important kind of Tibetan literature. It is called "Le Xie" in Tibetan, meaning "good words", mainly to promote the philosophy of life. Tibetan gnomic verse uses four lines as a stanza in the writing, two lines for metaphor and two lines for reality. It is through the natural phenomena of daily life, folk stories and proverbs as the medium. It is the use of metaphor, reasoning techniques, to describe the religion, ethics and the practice method of the social life that helps to solve people's confusion.

It was translated into Chinese by the renowned scholar, Dr. Li Zhengshuan and later back into English.
