Blazing splendor : the memoirs of the Dzogchen Yogi Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, as told to Erik Pema Kunsang and Marcia Binder Schmidt

Blazing Splendor paints an intimate portrait of the lost culture of Old Tibet and of a remarkable man who inspired thousands. A memoir in the form of tales told by Rinpoche toward the end of his life, the book spans his lifetime -- a lifetime rich in adventures of both spirit and body. His reminiscences weave a rich tapestry of family history and also describe the lives of some of the most realized and genuine practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism.
