Reviews

<p align="justify">A delightful and ingenuous autobiography of a modern day Chod master, who practices the very rare Zhije as well as Chod. Though living the traditional lifestyle of a wandering yogin in modern-day Tibet, it may turn out that these ancient, exotic practices are perfectly relevant right now.<br /> -<strong>Sarah Harding</strong>, author of <em>Machik's Complete Explanation</em>.</p> <p align="justify">Lama Wangdu's vivid descripion of pilgrimage to 108 cremation grounds, and his teacher's interpretation of his experiences, take us into a world where each experience is seen symbolically, as it arises. His selfless compassion and profound faith epitomizes the lineage of Machig Labdron and Dampa Sangye.<br /> -<strong>Tsultrim Allione</strong>, author of <em>Feeding Your Demons</em> and <em>Women of Wisdom</em>.</p> <p align="justify">A mesmerizing portrait of a well-known master who grew up a devout student and ascetic yogi in a society of onderment and intrigue in Southern Tibet. The essence of the book is the spell-binding descriptions of his ever-giving love and service to all, rich or poor, as a Buddhist teacher and healer.<br /> -<strong>Tulku Thondup Rinpoche</strong>, author of <em>The Healing Power of Mind</em> and <em>Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth</em>.</p> <p align="justify">The Chod, Dzogchen yogas and pilgrimage that Lama Wangdu alludes to are at the root of existential Buddhism. They deserve immediate attention from everyone concerned with their ultimate spiritual health.<br /> -<strong>Keith Dowman</strong>, author of <em>Sky Dancer</em> and <em>Flight of the Garuda. </em></p>
