Synopsis
Out of print since 1989, this is a volume of illuminating autobiography by one of the best-known spiritual teachers of our day. Identified at just over a year old as a major telku or reincarnation of an enlightened teacher, Trungpa underwent intensive training in meditation, philosophy and fine arts, and was ordinated as a monk at the age of eighteen, in 1958. The following year the Chinese invaded, and Trungpa spent many harrowing months trekking across the Himalaya to north India, where this absorbing memoir concludes. In an epilogue, Trungpa describes his emigration to the West, and the development of his first Western teachings.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 3rd Edition. Chögyam Trungpa¿meditation master, scholar, and artist¿was identified at the age of only thirteen months as a major tulku, or reincarnation of an enlightened teacher. As the eleventh in the teaching lineage known as the Trungpa tulkus, he underwent a period of intensive training in mediation, philosophy, and fine arts, receiving full ordination as a monk in 1958 at the age of eighteen. The following year, the Chinese Communists invaded Tibet, and the young Trungpa spent many harrowing months trekking over the Himalayas, narrowly escaping capture. CRACKED SPINE Trungpa's account of his experiences as a young monk, his duties as the abbot and spiritual head of a great monastery, and his moving relationships with his teachers offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of a Tibetan lama. The memoir concludes with his daring escape from Tibet to India. In an epilogue, he describes his emigration to the West, where he encountered many people eager to learn about the ancient wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism. Seller Inventory # 002716
