DESCRIPTION
Chatral Rinpoche is known as one of the most compassionate Bodhisattvas and greatest masters in the history of Tibetan Buddhism. In 1947 he was the head spiritual master for Regent Reting, who was at that time the political ruler of Tibet. He is the Vajra Regent, or principal lineage holder, of three major lineages of the Nyingma School: Longchen Nyinthig, Dudjom Tersar and Sera Khandro. He rescues millions of endangered animals each year and has been a strict vegetarian for over forty-five years. Now in his 90's, he is as active as ever, helping humans and animals alike with an unfathomably deep compassion. This is the first book in English dedicated to this living legend, and includes a biography, an autobiography, three of his essays, three prayers he composed and an exclusive interview. Eight pages of color photos from throughout his life are also included in the center of the book.
