Title: looking for a great Lama
Review: The late Chagdud Tulku has left one of the best Tibetan memoirs for us. Non Buddhists can read it a bit like an adventure story or another autobiography or perhaps to get a clearer picture of the communist takeover. Buddhists from altogether different traditions can read it to glimpse the on-the-spot teachings dealing with duality and the magical benefits entering the human psyche through dreams & visions.This is a great gift to us practitioners. He mentions many of his retreats in practices that we do now. These amazing systems that he and many others have brought out into the west to share. Also for people who have leanings in these directions it clearly shows that a system exists and has existed and is accessible, there are options for the questioning mind.Doing practice is great however reading some books ABOUT Buddhism is dull indeed. This book is a gem. I hope some of his magnetism finds its way directly to many readers. He was awesome in real life.
