Gavin Kilty has been a full-time translator for the Institute of Tibetan Classics since 2001.

"The poems translated in Splendour of an Autumn Moon are some of the most inspiring verses ever written in the Tibetan language. In addition to evoking powerful sentiments, the poems help provide a glimpse into Tsongkhapa's deep humility, and his passionate commitment to the ideals of altruism. These verses also help the reader to see what is truly behind the legend that is such a towering figure in the history of Tibetan Buddhism. - Geshe Thupten Jinpa, Ph.D, founder, Institute for Tibetan Classics
