The Lama of Many Lifetimes: Touching the Living Heart of Garchen Rinpoche, Book One: The Early Years (1937-1958)

405 pp. "My intention for Garchen Rinpoche's biography book is not to simply write his biography, but offer a sensory experience in which we move together through the various stages of his life, as author and reader, and so be touched by Garchen Rinpoche's suffering and vast compassion that brings deeper understanding and transformation within our own selves. My wish is for us to dance between lives where past, present, and future all merge into one stream of unbroken continuity. Thus, from the overall aesthetic design to the specific flow of the content from a historical perspective, readers will find a one-of-a-kind biographical storybook that allows them to take part in growing up and growing old with Garchen Rinpoche, just as he did in real life... Lama's heart, your heart, my heart, all beings' hearts... one and the same."
