From a Public Talk by the Dalai Lama

Namgyal Monastery, Dharamsala, India, 21 August 2001

"I was so very surprised and happy when I read the profound poem by the 17th Karmapa as he wrote about his escape from Tibet in a poetic form. Even my poems do not have this quality or profundity. From that point onwards, I realized that the Karmapa is in fact a being who possesses the clarity of inner wisdom, who is very keen to learn Buddhist logic and philosophy. I told many others about the poem and how wonderful it was from the point of view of his knowledge of Dharma and the wisdom within."

Review by Richard Gere

"Music in the Sky is a profoundly moving story of one of Tibet's greatest teachers. His Holiness the Karmapa is alive and very well in India, and shares with us his teachings, poetry and spiritual insights in this delightful book."
