The Sixth Patriarch Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

I had read the Platform Sutras
Of the Sixth Patriarch on the Net
Long years ago.

Now I am in Dahung valley,
West Kameng district, of Arunachal
Formerly known as NEFA.

In the Central Institute of Himalayan
Culture and Studies, Principal Lama Tashi
Gives me a copy of in-house journal.

Poem by a second year student says
That sixth Dalai Lama was born
In Tawang: I am just coming from there.

Is the sixth patriarch also sixth Dalai Lama?
I dont think so: I knew Tawang area
Is beautiful; now I know it is also blessed.
