Songs of Milkweed, A Gift from the Fields
"SONGS OF MILKWEED; A GIFT FROM THE FIELDS", is a book of unrivaled beauty, great sadness, and intrigue. It explicitly talks about the Lama''s profound and countless struggles, as well as those hidden glories, and ensplendouring insights inspired through living the call of religious existence, as well as that of horrific forms of bodily and spiritual neglect, and torture with wrongful imprisonments. There are numerous writings that were specially chosen, in which that the author has exemplified with the deepest of our concealed emotions. One is able to see just how her very life was affected through these many enlightening entries. Some entries the author had written go far back as 1981, when she was just fourteen y ears old. A remarkably told book that truly gets to the very "heart" of all of us. Where we are thusly reminded of the everlasting light above us: And within us. The many striking photos and drawings also enclosed in these pages, and with their captions, fully epitomize the Lama at her real and truest calling that is solely encompassed, and combined with religion. Along with that of religion, she expresses her concerns to endlessly preserve the past: Both inwardly, and outwardly. Telling her own two respected colleagues, and the stunned reader, about these professions, but with the greatest sense of humble dignity. Lama Milkweed L. Augustine, now Venerable Rimpoche, also tells of "THE GOOD FEARLESS DEATH." But, told through the very eyes and spirit of one who is on the brink of certain demise, however done so in a loving manner customary to her medical field. Depicting, as well as reminding us, of just what our loving Lord and Savior has done. "It is because of HIM, we no longer have a casket and a headstone to look forward to."Ven. Lama Rimpoche,Miss Milkweed L. Augustine

I wrote this book, as well as a second volume, as it was very necessary that I ad all of my various graphic noveletts, and papers of varied genre' which I created long ago as a growing writer and when I was in complete isolation as a Buddhist monk in training, whcih began as a mere child, although I was actually tortured while doing it. These numerous stories, poems, and essays of profound criticisms paved the depthful sojour as a spiritual leader, and as a human being, but also as a burgeoning inteellect who needed to reach out toher reading audience. To literaly "broadcast" in a graphic sense, my myriad of pedagoguey combined with a very rare form of loogos and ethos. Volume II of Songs of Milkweed; A Gift From the Fields is also a graphic and wondrous work that is more lengthy, as well as enthralling, because there are many poignent lessons we all must understand. These "manulas" for the living soul; these "songs of milkweed."
