The secret biography of the crazy wisdom yogi Drukpa Kunley. He is greatly loved by the people of Tibet and Bhutan as an enlightened master whose outrageous behaviour and ribald humour were intended to awaken common people and Buddhist teachers alike from the sleep of religious dogma and egoic self-possession.

Apppearing in the Kagyu spiritual lineage established by Tilopa and Naropa, Drukpa Kunley was recognized as an incarnation of the great mahasiddha Saraha. This book is a compilation of stories, songs of realization, and anecdotes passed on to this day in the taverns and temples of Tibet and Bhutan.

In contrast to other more ascetic teachers of the East who teach the negation of the body and its desires, he used desire, emotion, and sexuality to arouse disillusionment, insight, and delight in all he encountered. With consummate skill he followed the path of tantra, or the realization of bliss in the union of opposites, employing sexuality to quicken the awakening of his consorts.
