Tales of Uncle Tompa : the legendary rascal of Tibet / compiled and translated by Dorje Rinjing ; illustrations by Addison Smith ; foreword by Wendy Doniger ; introduction by Marilyn Stablein.

Summary:

The Western world has become familiar with Tibet through the Buddhist teachings of émigré Lamas. With these tales of an outrageous popular rogue, Uncle Tompa (who manages to embody a spirit of popular wisdom despite his roguishness), we are introduced to another side of Tibet: a bawdy world of humor, and the rough and tumble, everyday, secular life of the Tibetan people. Each story is charmingly illustrated with line drawings in a style derived from traditional Tibetan drawing. -- Amazon
