About the Author
Born in Tibet in 1930, His Eminence, Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, a highly revered meditation master, received extensive training in the vast wealth of Buddhist teachings and methods from many great lamas and belongs to the last generation of teachers to have received such training while still living in Tibet. For twenty years, he worked for the spiritual and economic welfare of Tibetan refugees in India and Nepal. In 1979, at the invitation of several students, he came to the West and has since established many centers in both North and South America.
