A Concise Biography of the Great Tertön Pedgyal Lingpa, An Emanation of Nupchen Sangye Yeshe

By Gochen Tulku Sangak Rinpoche, Chökyi Nyima (translator)

Pedgyal Lingpa (1924-1988) was a tertön, a modern-day master of the ancient tradition of terma, or revealed teachings, that has its origins in the 8th century CE, during the time of Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava in Tibet. In this biography, Gochen Tulku Sangak Rinpoche, himself a personal student of Pedgyal Lingpa, has given us a rich portrait of this remarkable figure, much of it based on oral history not previously committed to writing.
