A Path Strewn with Flowers and Bones

by Tulku Sherdor

An emaciated yogi spending years in isolated retreat cabins in cold northern climes, often without electric power or running water... Counsel to America s most prestigious litigation firm, hurtling across the skies in a leased jet to put out legal brushfires, with billions of dollars at stake... A reincarnate Lama swathed in maroon and gold robes atop a throne of honor amidst thousands of monks in a magnificent temple in the remote Tibetan hinterland of Golog... A Human Rights activist struggling to free indentured slaves in the sweltering jungles of western Nepal... Translator, attendant and heart disciple for a dozen years to a true King of Crazy Wisdom.... One person fits all of these descriptions, and many more. Read about his remarkable life s journey so far, and his wry, sharp, and candid reflections on life, death, rebirth, and that which neither is born nor dies our true nature. A tender-hearted praise and elegy to the great Tibetan Buddhist masters of our times. --Moke Mokotoff, Zangdokpalri Foundation An entertaining and original work of literature by a well-known western Lama in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, hailed as "deeply moving and ... remarkably well written." --Erik Pema Kunsang, Rangjung Yeshe "The wonderful stories rank right up there with those in Blazing Splendor, the memoirs of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche." -Lama Surya Das, Dzogchen Foundation
