Chariot of the Fortunate: The Life of the First Yongey Mingyur

Chariot of the Fortunate: The Life of the First Yongey Mingyur By Je Tukyi Dorje, Surmang Tendzin Rinpoche
2006 | 164 Pages | ISBN: 0974109274 | PDF | 4 MB


Tibetan religious texts are not light reading. I have to read them again and again. On first reading I did not "get" this book at all. I only sensed that there was a clear difference between us and the world of the first Yongey Mingyur dorje, the еreasure finder. After a while I read it again and it made sense, but it is still a strange world. The story is told in two parts by different people and in different ways. One incident follows another with no real sense of one thing leading to another. Many miraculous things happen and then another story follows. I strongly suspect that only a person deep in Tibetan religious practice will read this book with enjoyment. It definitely presents a reality that is alien to ours.
