The author sets a magical mood as he describes his early years in \"Snowland\" (Tibet) as one of seven children of a renowned Nyingma master. Thinley Norbu Rinpoche's storytelling alternates earthy humor with poetic sensitivity and tender sensuality. Describing his travels in Asia, Europe, and America, he presents thumbnail sketches of people and places, as well as sharp-sighted commentary on Western cultural trends and Dharma students' positive and negative qualities. More than just an autobiography, this written offering is an expression of Rinpoche's wisdom, compassion, and personal realization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thinley Norbu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1645470946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645470946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.39d","brand":"Thinley Norbu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993120571647,"sku":"9781645470946","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da4d644d-9628-431a-8c59-1d8eb6a1aa77.jpg?v=1683322629","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-brief-fantasy-history-of-thinley-norbu-9781645470946","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
