The staggeringly long list of teachings he received and transmitted in turn testifies to the depth of his appreciation of all aspects of the Dharma, and the roster of his eminent students reveals how his extraordinary influence transcended sectarian boundaries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The first half of this volume presents informal stories by many of Ch kyi Lodr 's teachers, students, friends, and relatives, collected by Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche and translated here into English for the first time. Intimate, funny, and utterly down-to-earth, these stories--supplemented by sixty-one photographs--paint a tender picture of the man behind the great master, introducing readers to the characters and events in his life, and especially the challenges he faced living under the Chinese occupation of Tibet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The second half comprises an English translation of the spiritual biography, or \u003ci\u003enamtar\u003c\/i\u003e, by Dilgo Khyentse, one of Ch kyi Lodr 's closest and most brilliant students. In the process of recounting the life and liberation of his belov d guru, Dilgo Khyentse reveals how he saw Ch kyi Lodr  as the Buddha in the flesh and provides, essentially, a blueprint of the entire path to enlightenment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dilgo Khyentse, Orgyen Tobgyal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611803772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611803778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 1.80d","brand":"Dilgo Khyentse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079825584383,"sku":"9781611803778","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_411cadd7-783b-4d3c-83e2-1d4b6924cdea.jpg?v=1685483361","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-and-times-of-dilgo-khyentse-9781611803778","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
