I have a book entitled The Turquoise Bee, subtitled The Lovesongs of the Sixth Dalai Lama, which I purchased in 1995 though it says copyright 1998. It contains an introduction, lyrics, and illustrations and was translated by Rick Fields and Brian Cutillo and illustrated by Mayumi Oda. Anyway, i am wondering if the music associated with the lyrics has survived? Also I believe that he was an ootw (Opener of the Way, which I previously called avatar type) similar to me, the Buddha, and Lao Tzu. However he was a 14-years-low/working-years figure, I am at 29 (in fact it now rounds up to 30, maybe since the current sunspot cycle is lasting a bit long), and the Budda and Lao Tzu had 7. Also such figures share some abilities but each has a unique primary siddhi. His was musical special ability (the same as Krishna, Pan, and David of the Old Testament). Buddha’s was hypnosis special ability. Lao Tzu’s was total recall, both visual and auditory. But the book says he died at age 23. I don’t believe that, I believe he did his sun stare, thorn hill climb, and blue rose vision at age 23. If he indeed died at age 23 then his “dragon demon’s thorns” lyrics must be about someone other than him, who would have been the ootw. But mainly in this post I am wondering if his songs including music have survived and if there are any recordings of them, and if so, how to access them? -- https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) “The strap that holds the cart in rein; Has been let loose by wearing thin By wearing thin, by biting through; The shift in power leans to you" (Ferron)
