Discover “Love Letters From Golok,” a unique collection of correspondence between two Buddhist tantric masters, Tare Lhamo and Namtrul Rinpoche. This intimate exchange, spanning 1978-1980, reveals their passionate vision for revitalizing Tibetan Buddhism after the Cultural Revolution. Author Holly Gayley brings to light the personal and prophetic dimensions of their relationship, exploring themes of gender, agency, and cultural preservation in post-Mao Tibet. As the first ‘love letters’ to emerge in Tibetan literature, this book offers a fresh vernacular tone, blending tantric imagery with poetic folk styles. Perfect for readers interested in Tibetan Buddhism, cultural history, and compelling personal narratives, this edition is now accessible to the South Asian Tibetan diaspora.
