Anam
Thubten grew up writing poems in his native Tibetan language, following
in the tradition in Tibetan Buddhism of Doha or Songs of Realization
that express nonconceptual themes like the great emptiness, the
unconditioned, boundless love, ecstatic devotion. Since coming to the
west, his poems have taken on a new flavor, while still exploring the
bitter as well as the sweet flavor of the ordinary and extraordinary truth of human life. In the mid 1990's Anam Thubten shared a stage with Allen Ginsberg in
San Francisco as seen in this photograph from Marc Olmstead.
