by Ngawang Zangpo (Author)
The story of Guru Rinpoche's visit to Tibet and significant influence on its Buddhist history during the eighth and ninth centuries, recounted by four prominent Tibetan scholars.
This book recounts Guru Rinpoche's historic visit to Tibet and explains his continuing significance to Buddhists. Through a series of historical texts written by prominent Tibetan Buddhist masters, this book recounts the life and legacy of Padmasambhava, The Lotus-Born, better known as Guru Rinpoche. Credited with transmitting Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century CE during the last century of the Tibetan Empire, Guru Rinpoche fostered radical changes to Tibet, marking historic transformations in the country's religious and political position. Having converted Tibet into a largely Buddhist society, Guru Rinpoche's influence remains a central force in Tibetan identity and practice today. Guru Rinpoche offers an account of his life through four distinct accounts, including:- A biography by Jamgon Kongtrul
- A biography by Dorje Tso from a revelation by Sera Khandro
- An Indian version of his life by Tarnata
- The Bön version of his life by Jamyong Kyentse Wongpo
In addition, the book includes a selection of supplications and Buddhist poetry praising the Lotus-Born master, Guru Rinpoche.
