Precious Teachers

"Dennis Lingwood, Englishman and novice Buddhist monk, follows his Indian Buddhist teacher on pilgrimage to find himself in Kalimpong, a hill station at the foot of the Himalayas. It is 1950 and Tibetan Buddhism had begun its exodus into India with Kalimpong as a gateway." "In this latest addition to his memoirs, Lingwood, better known as Urgyen Sangharakshita, shares his recollections of the diverse men and women who lived in and passed through Kalimpong: the Tibetan gurus, peasant farmers, tradesmen, and travelling academics. Some teachers, like Dudjom Rimpoche and Dilgo Khyentse Rimpoche, formally impart their wisdom and learning, while others teach invaluable lessons by just living their lives. Precious Teachers: recollections of one man's journey of spiritual legacy, Buddhist lineage and friendship."--BOOK JACKET.Sangharakshita is the author of 'Precious Teachers', published 2007 under ISBN 9781899579785 and ISBN 1899579788.
