The name of the author in the colophon of the text is given as Ch drak Zangpo (\u003ci\u003echos grags bzang po\u003c\/i\u003e, c.1300\/1310-1375\/1385). He is assumed to have been one of Longchenpa's leading disciples, but unfortunately little has been passed down regarding his life and career. Regarding Longchenpa's life history, some writings have been passed down and there have been many studies and commentaries on them. The text I discuss in this book, however, has not yet been translated into other languages nor examined fully, even though it is regarded as one of the oldest writings about his life and career. In view of this situation, the aim of this study is to set the stage for future comprehensive study of Longchenpa's life by attempting its English translation in full.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shinichi Tsumagari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540636364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540636362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.38d","brand":"Shinichi Tsumagari","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980027003135,"sku":"9781540636362","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2d942bf-7758-480f-8a8c-2f7356167a51.jpg?v=1683247955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/meaningful-to-behold-shinichi-tsumagari-9781540636362","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
