Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. --- Samten Gyaltsen Karmay traces the line of masters who handed down the Zhangzhung Nyangyu, the Bon oral tradition of Dzogchen teachings on the nature of mind from Zhangzhung in western Tibet. Images from the two paintings are set beside short, sometimes very short, biographical sketches of each master in the line. At the center is Tapihritsa, the "little luminous boy" of the title, a seventh-century master said to have attained the light body. His life is told within the wider succession of teachers before and after him. The book follows how the teachings were passed from mind to mind, then through signs and spoken instruction, and finally set down in writing. N° de réf. du vendeur OA-260405-shelf-21-010
