"Like An Illusion: Lives of the Shangpa Kagyu Masters" presents the lively, touching, vibrant tales of the rare Shangpa Kagyu lineage of Tibet. This is the first English translation of biographies written between 500 and 1000 years ago.
"Like An Illusion" includes the biographies of two accomplished women, the dakinis Niguma and Sukhasiddhi. The life stories then continue through the lineage, from Khyungpo Naljor, great yogi of the Shangpa Lineage, to Mokchokpa, Kyergangpa, on down to Jetsun Taranatha.
From the Publisher
Reminiscent of Milarepa's Songs, the stories in "Like An Illusion" combine enlightened songs, beautifully rendered in Nicole Riggs' translation, with profound wisdom. The translator also offers an introduction that looks at the importance of women in the lineage, the appeal of solitude to the Shangpa masters, and other features of this unique lineage.
