In 1991 Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche accompanied
a group of western Buddhist students to each
of the four major pilgrimage sites from the
life of the Buddha (Bodhgaya, Sarnath, Kushinagar
and Lumbini). This book contains the teachings
Rinpoche gave to the group at each pilgrimage
site, enabling readers to share this unique
experience. It also includes Rinpoche’s
summary of the early history of Buddhism:
the twelve great deeds of the Buddha’s
life; the subsequent Buddhist councils and
universities which oversaw the development
of the sutras, shastras and tantras; and the
emergence of the Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions
of Buddhism. Rinpoche’s teachings are
accessible to new students while at the same
time offering new insights to advanced students.
The teaching are supplemented by a guide to
the many sites of Buddhist pilgrimage that
Rinpoche mentions in his history, including
practical, historical and archaeological information,
making this a valuable companion to Buddhist
pilgrims.
The ninth Thrangu Rinpoche is one of the
foremost teachers of the Karma Kagyu tradition
of Tibetan Buddhism, and was appointed by
His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the personal
tutor of His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa,
Ogyen Trinley Dorje.
