From the publisher: By making both classical and modern spiritual texts on Buddhism accessible to the Russian-speaking reader, we hope that this inexhaustible source will truly become a guide to a true understanding of ourselves, the key to harmony with the world. Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche (1920– 1996) was born in eastern Tibet on the tenth day of the fourth Tibetan month in 1920. He was recognized by H.H. Kakyab Dorje, the 15th Gelwang Karmapa, as the reincarnation of Guru Chowang Tulku (Guru Chowang 1st (1212–1270) is one of the five Terton Kings, the main revealers of the secret texts hidden by Guru Padmasambhava), and also as an emanation of Nubchen Sange Yeshe, one of the main disciples of Padmasambhava.
