In this short video, Rinzin Dem narrates the lozey ballad “Among Chinese Thrones” (Gyanak Sertri Drel Khalu). Lozey ballads play an important role in societal communication, giving poetic expression to feelings of love or hate towards things and people. Ballads usually employ indirect language: figurative speeches are used to defame and express their love or gratitude toward others. The ballad performed in this video extols the benefits of refraining from coveting. Having wealth, the lyrics say, is not a reason to be greedy. In sum, the ballad conveys the message that one should not seek wealth, nor let oneself be influenced by it.
