Synopsis:
This book includes a brief biography of Mingyur Dorje by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, extracted from his Lives of the Hundred Treasure Revealers (Tertons), and the biography of Mingyur Dorje called Chariot of the Fortunate. The latter was begun by Dzigar Tukyi Dorje and completed by Surmang Tenzin Rinpoche.
Chariot of the Fortunate is largely based upon oral traditions about the life of Mingyur Dorje. Yongey Mingyur Dorje Drakpo Nuden Tsal was born in 1628. This account of his deeds and words is both touching and humerous, both inspiring and shocking. As we read about his life, we are pushed beyond the reach of understanding and into the undiscovered country of awakened being.
In all the religions of this world there have appeared extraordinary individuals who have embodied the wisdom and goodness of their tradition while transcending the status quo of its institutions. These holy beings capture our hearts in a special way because their lives challenge to think in a radically different way and shake us awake out of our sleepy lack-luster faith.
"The great nonconceptual wisdom of all victors, Heruka, the Lord of Secrets of the changeless mind, appearing miraculously as a vajra master - I remember in my heart the great treasure-revealing guru." Je Tukyi Dorje. |
