On a conventional level it is ribald, and sassy, something of a combination of Henry Miller and Cervantes’ Don Quixote. At times you may find yourself chuckling, at other times astounded at what you are reading, even shocked. On a spiritual plain it is meant to show the crazy wisdom of an awakened being carrying out his bodhisattva vows. Like the fabled koans of zen, it strains our intellectual beliefs and our credulity, and by doing that perhaps brings us to question the entire spiritual path, just as the Buddha advised us to do.What are we to make of a lama who is said to be awakened, yet when not destroying demons, seems to spend a great deal of his time drinking and deflowering virgins? Likely we’ve heard of modern examples of that same behavior from some of our spiritual leaders. You’ll have to decide that one for yourself. Gave this a five star rating because no matter what you take from it, it will force you to think outside the box. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the best book on this topic... *by ***V on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2020* Was in Bhutan before the shutdown with a Bhutanese Rinoche (Buddhist teacher) The Divine Madman reference is seen throughout the country ...almost on every doorway! After visiting the main temple devoted to him, I realized I knew nothing about him. Rinpoche said this is the best book on the subject. Very interesting read...and although it stated in the beginning that there was nothing humorous in the book I have to admit I laughed out loud reading it picturing in my mind how that particular story unfolded to the people interacting with him. A VERY DIFFERENT dharma book which opened my eyes to a very different perspective on life, sex etc. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Book About a Very Different Kind of Saint *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 2015* This is one of Keith's earlier translations and it is really good. It is about Drugpa Kunley who, like most true Buddhist Adepts, was very unpopular with the Buddhist Clergy. He was indeed a wild man with miraculous powers. Drugpa Kunley was a sexually precocious tantric master who regularly offended those who donned the robes but failed to wake up. Even so, he is the Patron Saint of Bhutan, which is the only country on Earth which measures success in terms of Gross National Happiness. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/6377087-the-divine-madman-the-sublime-life-and-songs-of-drukpa](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/6377087-the-divine-madman-the-sublime-life-and-songs-of-drukpa) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
