The Memoirs of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Erik Pema Kunsang

Reading the stories of a realized teacher has long been a source of inspiration and learning for Buddhist practitioners. In this volume we have the extraordinary opportunity to read about compassion, wisdom, devotion, and the nature of mind in Tulku Urgyen's distinct voice as he shares stories from his life both in Tibet and the West.

"...These stories and memories imply that spiritual realization is really possible. This is not simply ancient history, a phenomenon that happened in the past in India or in Tibet. Thanks to masters like Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche this living tradition of wisdom and spiritual awakening of the Buddha continues right now in the present and is readily available to people everywhere." , Sogyal Rinpoche, author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
