Title: The autobiography of Jamgön Kongtrul : a gem of many colors
Author: Kong-sprul Blo-gros-mthaʼ-yas
Published: New York : Snow Lion Publications, 2003
Language: English
ISBN: 1559391847
Notes: "This English translation of Jamgon Kongtrul's autobiography is refreshingly real. In addition to its inspirational value, Kongtrul's story is a rich source of information on the religion, culture, and political climate of Tibet during his times." "Also included with the autobiography are two additional texts: one, authored by Kongtrul himself, discusses the past masters of whom he was considered to be an emanation; the second was written by one of Kongtrul's close personal students and recounts Kongtrul's final days, his funeral, and the commemorative rites following his death. Taken together, these three texts place Kongtrul firmly within a historical context as one of the most important figures in the history of Tibetan Buddhism."--Jacket
