Paperbound. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition, so stated. Description: The publisher's blurb reads: ''A rare account of remarkable Lamas in the final years of a lost era. The author finds himself the first Western disciple of Kunzang Dorji Rinpoche, a highly reclusive master known for mercurial wrath and facility with Dzogchen. He receives direct introduction to the nature of Mind through ruthless interrogation on the meaning of stories from the lives of Lineage Lamas. He is separated from his lama for 13 years, but they meet again and their relationship resumes. In the interim he studies with the renowned crazy wisdom master Chhi'med Rig'dzin Rimpoche. This wild cathartic sojourn gives rise to further stories -- purveying an array of exuberantly starling scenarios. A clear, accessible narrative set in creative contemporary language. A fluent literary account that is genuinely heartwarming, hilarious, and humane, whilst retaining its power as an alarmingly insightful odyssey into the world of Vajrayana Buddhism.'' BINDING/CONDITION: paperbound; Very Good condition. glossary, appendix. 8vo (9 inches tall). 557 pages. Seller Inventory # 066227
