Among the generation of elder Tibetan lamas who brought Tibetan
Buddhism west in the latter half of the twentieth century, perhaps
none has had a greater impact on the academic study of Buddhism
than Geshe Lhundub Sopa. He has striven to preserve Tibetan
religious culture through tireless work as a professor and
religious figure, establishing a functioning Buddhist monastery in
the West, organizing the Dalai Lama's visits to the U.S., and
offering countless teachings across the country. But prior to his
thirty-year career in the first ever academic Buddhist studies
program in the United States - a position in which he oversaw the
training of many among the seminal generation of American Buddhist
studies scholars - Geshe Sopa was the son of peasant farmers, a
novice monk in a rural monastery, a virtuoso scholar-monk at one of
the prestigious central monasteries in Lhasa, and a survivor of the
Tibetan uprising and perilous flight into exile in 1959.
In "Like a Waking Dream," Geshe Sopa frankly and observantly
reflects on how his life in Tibet - a monastic life of yogic
simplicity - shaped and prepared him for the unexpected. His is a
tale of an exemplary life dedicated to learning, spiritual
cultivation, and the service of others from one of the greatest
living masters of Tibetan Buddhism.
