We are pleased to inform you that the first collection of traditional Cambodian Buddhist literature is now out with Shambala publications:
Until Nirvana’s Time: Buddhist Songs from Cambodia
By Trent Walker, foreword by Kate Crosby
https://www.shambhala.com/until-nirvana-s-time.html
PAGES: 368
ISBN: 9781645471349
Until Nirvana’s Time presents forty-five Dharma songs whose melodies have inspired Cambodian Buddhist communities for generations. Introduced, translated, and contextualized by scholar and vocalist Trent Walker, this is the first collection of traditional Cambodian Buddhist literature available in English. Many of the poems have been transcribed from old cassette tapes or fragile bark-paper manuscripts that have never before been printed. A link to recordings of selected songs in English and Khmer accompanies the book. Walker also gives an overview of Cambodian Buddhism, the ritual life of these dharma songs, how they were transmitted, and much more.
