This illustrated biography explores the life of Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro (1893-1959), a prominent Tibetan Buddhist master and key figure in the Rime movement, which promotes the study and practice of all Tibetan Buddhism schools. His extensive teachings and the diverse list of students he influenced highlight his commitment to the Dharma and his ability to transcend sectarian divides. The first half of the volume features informal anecdotes from Chokyi Lodro's teachers, students, friends, and family, compiled by Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche and translated into English for the first time. These intimate, humorous stories, accompanied by sixty-one photographs, provide a heartfelt glimpse into the life of this great master, showcasing the challenges he faced during the Chinese occupation of Tibet. The second half includes an English translation of the spiritual biography, or namtar, by Dilgo Khyentse, a close disciple. In recounting the life and liberation of his revered guru, Dilgo Khyentse portrays Chokyi Lodro as a living Buddha and offers a comprehensive guide to the path of enlightenment.
