Songs

mgur dang glu

The song of realisation and the folk song: Milarepa and the yogins, the songs of the Sixth Dalai Lama, and the songs of every valley and every kind of work.

This page is a placeholder. It exists so that the structure does; the text will follow, and will be checked by a teacher of the field before it is called finished.

The mgur is the song of the yogin, spontaneous in form and plain in language, and the Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa is its monument. The glu is the song of the people, tied to work, to place and to season. Between them stand the sixty-odd short songs of Tsangyang Gyatso, the Sixth Dalai Lama, which everyone knows and which are sung to this day.

The pages here will present the forms with texts and, where they exist, recordings.
