At 36 years old, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche was a rising star within his generation of Tibetan masters and the respected abbot of three monasteries. Then one night, telling no one, he slipped out of his monastery in India with the intention of spending the next four years on a wandering retreat, following the ancient practice of holy mendicants. His goal was to throw off his titles and roles in order to explore the deepest aspects of his being.

Based on a series of talks given by Chögyam Trungpa during the first session of what was to become Naropa University, Cynicism and Magic introduces key Tibetan Buddhist concepts, including karma, the structure of ego, the paramitas, and the bodhisattva. Employing a unique and intimate teaching style, Trungpa Rinpoche presents these concepts in a larger framework of questions we all have: What is authentic spirituality? Can I find enlightenment and freedom? How should I approach life, death, suffering, and boredom? How can I develop some discipline, patience, and sanity?

She was the first European woman to meet the Dalai Lama (in the 1920s) and in 1924 became the first to enter the forbidden Tibetan capital, Lhasa. She had already spent a decade travelling through China and Sikkim, India; lived and meditated in a cave on the Tibetan border; and everywhere learned about Buddhism from hermits, mystics and bandits.

The classic spiritual travelogue by one of Tibet’s best-known explorers, The Way of the White Clouds is the remarkable narrative of a pilgrimage which could not be made today. In 1948, Lama Anagarika Govinda made an unforgettable journey into Tibet before its invasion by the Chinese. His unique account is not only a spectacular and gloriously poetic story of exploration and discovery; it is also invaluable for its sensitivity and clearly presented interpretation of the Tibetan tradition.

Treasured by Buddhists of all traditions, The Way of the Bodhisattva (Bodhicharyavatara) is a guide to cultivating the mind of enlightenment and to generating the qualities of love, compassion, generosity, and patience. This text has been studied, practiced, and expounded upon in an unbroken tradition for centuries, first in India, and later in Tibet. Presented in the form of a personal meditation in verse, it outlines the path of the Bodhisattvas - those who renounce the peace of individual enlightenment and vow to work for the liberation of all beings.

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things - a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

The author Sri "M" is an extraordinary individual. His uniqueness lies not only in the fact that at the young age of 19 and a half, he travelled to snow-clad Himalayas from Kerala, and there he met and lived for several years with a "real-time" yogi, Babaji, but also that he should undertake such an unusual and adventurous exploration, given his non-Hindu birth and antecedents. The metamorphosis of Mumtaz Ali Khan into Sri "M", a yogi with profound knowledge of the Upanishads and deep personal insights, is born of first-hand experiences with higher levels of consciousness....

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Lama Yeshe didn't see a car until he was 15 years old.
In his quiet village, he and other children ran in fields with yaks and mastiffs. The rhythm of life was anchored by the pastoral cycles. Food was carefully apportioned and eaten together, everyone was family.
The arrival of Chinese army cars one day in 1959 changed everything.
In the wake of the deadly Tibetan Uprising, he escaped to India through the Himalayas to start over as a refugee. One of only 13 survivors out of 300 travellers, he spent the next few years in America, experiencing the excesses of the Woodstock generation before reforming in Europe.
Now in his 70s and a leading monk at the Samye Ling monastery in Scotland - the first Buddhist centre in the West - Lama Yeshe casts a hopeful look back at his momentous life. From his learnings on self-compassion and discipline to his trials and tribulations with loss and failure, his poignant story mirrors our own struggles.
Written with erudition and humour, From a Mountain in Tibet shines a light on how the most desperate of situations can help us to uncover vital life lessons and attain lasting peace and contentment.

Extraordinary story of transformation
This true narrative from sinner to saint is remarkable. Thank you, as it resonates with my story but so completely different from Lama Yeshe Losai Rinpoche's; yet so similar in terms of the process of spiritual transformation through falling upward and needed suffering. This tells of the archetypal heroe's story who, in order to change and mature needs to separate from 'home' and all that is known and familiar on many different levels, and journey through many trials, temptations and struggles and learn from them in the conquering of the demons, dragons and wolves within ourselves, and learn to befriend and integrate them with the result of transformation and deep compassion for ourselves and everyone else and their struggles and trials. It is a story too of complete honesty and vulnerability.
Thank you Lama Yeshe Losai rinpoooche.

A Good Firsthand account for someone interested in Buddhism and Tibetan culture.
As someone that’s spent a lot of time in Tibet with both lay people and monks, I found this book a little redundant for what I already knew and had experienced. I’d recommend it for people that have interest but no first hand accounts.
It also is a great little beginner for Buddhist thought, practice, and theory. For me, I let it play in the background and enjoyed having some Buddhist allegories and stories told in easy to understand language and terms.
Overall, a good book.

So inspiring
This is a wonderful look into Tibetan Buddhism as well as the sad abs first hand account of the invasion of Tibet by the Chinese. Lama Yeshe delivers a clear message perfect for our current times. It is a message of healing through expanding our awareness of mind, the cause of our trouble in the first place. He illustrates this with true accounts and obstacles he faced through this life. The take away...indeed the obstacles are the path. Thank you Yeshe Rinpoche! I felt as if I were with you in those early days in Tibet!!

Riveting account of a life
I have an interest in Tibetian Buddhism, but I would recommend this book to everyone, whether they have an interest in Tibet, or Buddhism, or not.
It begins with an account of a childhood in a pre-modern world of Tibet and the monastic system, of a time and place that is now lost. It describes a harrowing escape from Tibet, and different approaches and attempts to establish Tibetian buddhism in the West. There are contemporanious accounts of well known characters in Tibetian Buddhism in the West in the 60's and 70's, notably Freda Bedy, Trungpa and the Karmapa.
Mostly though, it is a story about a life and a person who, it is obvious, is kind, selfless and wise. He has become this way through his own efforts, and the support, faith and trust of people around him.
It sounds terribly cliché to say that Lama Yeshe Losal is a teacher who wants to help people bring about inner peace, but this doesn't make it less true. The account of his life and how he attained peace, despite all of the obstacles, has helped me find more peace in my own life. I believe that it can help you too.

Am incredible story of an incredible man
Through skilfully telling of his own struggles as a Tibetan refugee disillusioned with his plight in life, Lama Yeshe skilfully weaves insightful teachings learned through the depths of his own difficult experiences in what has been a difficult and tumultuous journey filled with much sadness and grief. Alongside these difficulties, there has much much joy however thanks to the strength of his Buddhist faith, explained in a way that many Westerners can relate to, and which they can use to great effect in their own life to ease their own difficulties and troubles.
Thank You for this precious gift Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche 🙏💖🌈

One of the best books !
I’m a Hindu but Buddhism very much interests me . I was searching for books on Buddhism and came across this.
Thoroughly enjoyed it .
A very gripping book, so genuine and such spiritual insights .
It is so inspiring to see the power of mind and I’m so much in awe of Lama Yeshe Losal - who could achieve so much in a single life time specially as spiritual progress is usually described as slow .
The narration is brilliant too- actually can imagine the valleys of Tibet & river Brahmaputra & even partially experience the dark retreat !

A great yarn with some life lessons
I have never heard of Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche before but I found his story very interesting as I am interested in meditation and helping myself after struggling with depression and anxiety for many years. I found this similar to Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche's telling of his struggles and just as enjoyable.
This is not a story of a young boy born into monk-hood who lived a privileged life and gained enlightenment with ease. This is a story of regular young man who faced adversity and entered western culture to discover many of the same struggles that face many of us.
This is an easy listen and does not require a lot of previous knowledge of the culture or religion. If you have some interest in self improvement and want to hear how one man overcame many life obstacles to find his path in life then you will enjoy this book.
