Compassionate Action (Paperback)

Paperback. Chatral Rinpoche, the quintessential "hidden yogi," has been a legend in the Himalayan region for the past seventy years. Although he has never traveled to the West, his amazing story and teachings have gradually been infiltrating the Western Buddhist consciousness since Father Thomas Merton first met him in 1968 and famously remarked that he was "the greatest man I ever met." This is the first English-language book of this living legend; it includes his biography and autobiography, six of his essays, five prayers he composed, an exclusive interview, and sixteen pages of photos from throughout his life. This is the first book to become available in the West by one of the most revered spiritual figures in South Asia. Included is a generous selection of his essays, as well as a biography and many photographs from throughout his lifetime. This item is printed on demand.
