Enjoy popular Tibetan collections of advice, fables, and aphorisms for following the way of the wise and avoiding the path of fools.The Tibetan Book of Everyday Wisdom: A Thousand Years of Sage Advice presents a genre of Tibetan works known as wise sayings (leksh). While most Tibetan literature focuses on the Buddhist path, wise sayings literature has traditionally been a centerpiece of secular education in Tibet and in the cultivation of social mores and an honorable way of life. Drawing inspiration from classical Indian literature on human virtue and governance (nitisastra), including the folktales in the Pacatantra, the authors of these Tibetan works strove to educate young minds in the ways of the civilized world, especially by distinguishing the conduct of the wise from that of the foolish.This anthology includes some of the bestloved classics of Tibetan literature, such as Sakya Panditas Jewel Treasury of Wise Sayings, Panchen Snam Drakpas Ganden Wise Sayings, and Gungthangs Treatise on Trees and Treatise on Water. The final work is the intriguing Kach Phalus Advice. Ostensibly written by a wise Tibetan Muslim, this versified text enjoys great popularity within Tibetanspeaking communities, such that many Tibetans are able to recite at least a few verses from memory.
