Personal

reminiscences of an esteemed Tibetan Buddhist master, ranging from

touching memoir to humorous storytelling, from sharp cultural commentary

to deeply felt verse--illustrated with rare photos in full color.

Illustrated

with color photos published for the first time, this collage of

reminiscences affords a rare glimpse into the life of an esteemed

Tibetan Buddhist teacher. The author sets a magical mood as he describes

his early years in ""Snowland"" (Tibet) as one of seven children of a

renowned Nyingma master. Thinley Norbu Rinpoche's storytelling

alternates earthy humor with poetic sensitivity and tender sensuality.

Describing his travels in Asia, Europe, and America, he presents

thumbnail sketches of people and places, as well as sharp-sighted

commentary on Western cultural trends and Dharma students' positive and

negative qualities. More than just an autobiography, this written

offering is an expression of Rinpoche's wisdom, compassion, and personal

realization."
