A vivid account of the life of Dhardo Rimpoche, the tulku (incarnation) of the abbot of the influential Drepung monastery of Tibet. Rimpoche’s life spanned two worlds, the medieval agricultural life of old Tibet and the struggle to save Tibetan culture and Buddhism in the uncertain world of exile. With sensitivity and clarity, Suvajra traces his path from Tantric college to a pioneer monastery at Bodhgaya, from Yi Ga Choling gompa at Ghoom - made famous by Lama Govinda in The Way of the White Clouds - to an orphanage and school for refugee children.
Dhardo Rimpoche never flaunted his spiritual credentials; instead he lived them out, unpretentiously doing whatever seemed necessary for the welfare of all. This is a moving testament to the life of a remarkable man and a fascinating glimpse of the world that shaped him and that he fought so hard to preserve.
