Chogyam 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. 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.
