Ti-Me-Kun-Dan is a profound and moving Tibetan mystery play that explores the themes of ultimate self-sacrifice and spiritual devotion. Based on the life of the Prince of Blameless Grace-a previous incarnation of the Buddha-this classic work of Tibetan literature illustrates the Buddhist virtue of transcendent generosity. The narrative follows the prince as he gives away his most precious possessions, including his kingdom's wish-granting jewel, his children, and even his own eyes, to those in need.
Set against a backdrop of asceticism and divine trial, the drama portrays the prince's exile to the demons' mountain and his unwavering commitment to the path of the Bodhisattva. As one of the most celebrated examples of Tibetan drama, Ti-Me-Kun-Dan offers readers a window into the cultural and religious heritage of the Himalayas. The play serves not only as a theatrical performance but as a spiritual teaching on the nature of compassion and the renunciation of worldly attachments. This English translation captures the lyrical and devotional qualities of the original text, making it an essential read for those interested in Asian literature, Buddhist philosophy, and the history of world theater.
