Rinpoche
ByPublisher Description
From Tibet in the 1970's to the States in the 1990's, Rinpoche is the story of a Tibetan child who witnessed the massacre of his family by occupying Chinese forces. After a long and terrifying escape to India, Tenzin Rinpoche, the incarnation of a Tibetan yogi, became a renowned expert in martial arts but was never able to relieve his disturbing memories and emotional pain. When he met American photographer, Sarah, at a Tibetan monastery in the States, they recognized their profound karmic connection which in turn became an intense love that brought spiritual awakening followed by devastating heartbreak and loss. Moving between twentieth century Tibet and the West, Rinpoche explores what can happen to a child who experiences wartime atrocities.

About Lama Karma Chötso
Lama Karma Chötso has studied and practiced Tibetan Buddhism for over forty years, completing a three-year, three-month meditation retreat in strict seclusion in the 1980’s. She’s also been on many pilgrimages in Asia and lived in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the U.S. for over a decade. In the late ’90’s she founded the Open Awareness Buddhist Center in Miami, Florida where the sangha built four Tibetan stupas. While Lama has retired from teaching in the U.S., she still leads the Palpung Lima Chöling Center in Peru where the sangha built a Tibetan stupa in the Amazon Basin. She has spent time in India, Sikkim and Nepal, and toured Tibet with Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche. Lama’s essay “A Retiring Renunciate” appears in the book, Women Unbound, and her book of poetry, Dances of Dreams, was published in 2014. She is also a novelist, singer-songwriter, visual artist and photographer. Lama lives in the Pacific Northwest with her rescue cats, Travieso and Nefertiti.
