DOWNLOAD EBOOKTHE AMAZING GARDEN OF BLUE LOTUS Surviving the darkest times of Tibetan history, in the midst of extreme religious persecution, he lived the life of a practitioner whose spiritual realizations were reflected through his actions. Forbearing every hardship and torture with equanimity, he was a physician by virtue who cured hundreds, but with meagre substances that one might refuse ghastly if it were in today’s time. Besides being a Lama that sees beyond time and across dimensions, he was the Vajramaster who trained twentysix classes of Six Union Vajra practitioners, each of whom assumed a greater role in the spread of the dharma than the other. Gyala Pema Namgyal’s life will fascinate any reader by the means he worked for the welfare of countless beings. The Land of Golok was indeed fortunate to have been the womb for this noble master at that turbulent time. As a novice translator, a lazy one at that, I found only joy and a rush of blessings in the mornings as I began the attempt to make his life reachable for the English readers. Because there were no shortages of miracles in the life of this benevolent teacher, I hope he will continue to inspire more lives as much as he did while he lived.
