Description

Chögyam Trungpa's memoir offers a rare glimpse into the life of a Tibetan lama. Born with an extraordinary destiny, he underwent intensive training in meditation, philosophy, and fine arts from a young age. As the eleventh in his teaching lineage, he recounts his experiences as a young monk, including his duties as abbot and spiritual head of a great monastery. Trungpa's account also covers his harrowing escape from Tibet after the Chinese Communists invaded, and his subsequent daring flight to India. The memoir concludes with his emigration to the West, where he encountered many people eager to learn about Tibetan Buddhism. This intimate and moving story provides a unique insight into the life of a Tibetan lama. In an epilogue, Trungpa describes his journey to share the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism with the Western world.
