Synopsis:
Shambhala sale edition. The extraordinary life story of Chetsang Rinpoche, head of the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. This is the story of a young boy, born in Tibet to inherit the role of Buddhist lineage holder, whose life was dramatically interrupted by the Chinese army invasion and the ensuing Cultural Revolution. Two decades later, he walked out of Tibet and started on his journey of fully taking on the leadership of the Drikung Kagyu. Since then the teachings of this lineage have flourished and are practiced around the world - after nearly been lost.
" Chetsang Rinpoche is one of the highest incarnate lamas, the head of a tradition. But he also experienced the life of an ordinary American. This is unlike any other biography - one sees how a neighbourhood boy can become a great spiritual master." Gelek Rinpoche.
"One of the most accomplished spiritual masters of our time. His experiences in life and spiritual practice are rich and encouraging for anyone who has heard about them. His positive attitude toward life, despite facing many difficulties at a young age and challenges at other times, is something all of us should be following as a great example...His life will definately encourage countless spiritual practitioners to take challenges as a form of spiritual practice so that the strength of spirituality will grow within their mind..." Gyalwang Drukpa.
"Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche's story is one of wholehearted dedication to the Buddhadharma. Throughout the turmoil of his youth, he maintained his monastic vows in a hostile, anti-religious environment, finally managing a miraculous escape from Tibet. After all the hardships he suffered, he went to India to take up the heavy responsibility of leading and revitalizing the Drikung Kagyu lineage, still finding time for his own practice, study, and retreat. I am amazed at how much a single person has accomplished in such a short time...As students of Dharma, we turn to the life and liberation stories of the great masters to strengthen our faith and devotion and to gain inspiration for our practice of the path...By reading about such masters' lives, we gain confidence in the authenticity of the teachings they have transmitted, develop gratitude for the hardships they endured to ensure that transmission, and generate faith in their qualities as objects of refuge. Because such stories are unfailing sources of inspiration and guidance, it brings me great joy that this biography of Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche will now be available to a wide audience." Garchen Rinpoche. |
