A translation of the collected poems of the Mongolian Nyingma lama, Danzanravjaa, the 5th Noyon Khutughtu (1803-1856)


"Your perfect qualities,
Are like colors reflected in a mirror.
I see your shining face, my dear,
And truly you have captured
My entire mind and body.

Like the cuckoo’s song,
You relieve the stress in my mind.
Your kind words are gentle, my dear,
With such kindness you sit
And offer comfort.
