Renowned as a peerless teacher, practitioner, and scholar, Longchenpa
thoroughly studied and mastered every one of the many Buddhist vehicles
and lineages of teachings existing in Tibet at his time. Through his
radiant intellect and meditative accomplishment, in both his teachings
and written works, he was able to reconcile the seeming discrepancies
and contradictions between the various presentations of the view and the
path within the many lineages of transmission. His written works are
also famous for being able to transfer true blessings just by reading or
hearing his enlightened words.
Compiled from numerous Tibetan
and Bhutanese sources, including Longchenpa’s autobiography, and stories
of his previous lives and subsequent rebirths, The Life of Longchenpa
weaves an inspiring tale of wonder and magic, of extraordinary visions
and spiritual insight, set in the kingdoms of fourteenth-century Tibet
and Bhutan. It also reveals for the first time fascinating details of
his ten years of self-exile in Bhutan, stories that were unknown to his
Tibetan biographers.
