"Stearns, one of the most respected translators of classical
Tibetan texts, beautifully brings to life the story of one of
Tibet's most inspiring and loved personalities. This book is a must
for anyone who is interested in Tibetan culture and history, as
well as those who wish to see how the altruistic ideals of the
bodhisattva path can be concretely applied in socioeconomic and
humanitarian action."—Thupten Jinpa, translator to H.H. the Dalai
Lama and author of Self, Reality, and Reason in Tibetan
Philosophy
"This represents the culmination of many years of patient
scholarship and contemplation of the problems of meaningful
translation into English. . . . The author has selected a figure of
enormous importance for the cultural context of Tibetan Buddhism.
This is a book that will last."—E. Gene Smith, executive
director of the Tibetan Buddhist Resource Center
