Born in Tibet and recognized as a Tulku (reincarnation of an enlightened master) at thirteen months old, Chögyam Trungpa recounts in these memoirs his training as a Buddhist monk and his dramatic flight across the Himalayas after the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959. The book offers an intimate look at the life of a Tibetan lama, from his formative years and his responsibilities as abbot of a monastery to his later emigration to India and later to the West, where he would found important institutions such as the Naropa Institute and establish meditation centers that would help spread the wisdom of this contemplative tradition throughout the Western world.

Born in Tibet – autobiography of Buddhist master Chögyam Trungpa

Born in Tibet is the fascinating autobiography of Trungpa Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist master who, from an early age, was recognized as a tulku, the reincarnation of an enlightened master. In this memoir, Trungpa recounts his intense monastic training in Tibet, where he assumed responsibilities as abbot of a monastery, and his perilous journey across the Himalayas following the Chinese invasion in 1959. His story offers a unique insight into the life of a Tibetan lama, combining tradition, resilience, and transformation.

This book is not only a testament to his personal journey, but also an account of the transmission of Tibetan Buddhism to the West. After his exile in India, Trungpa continued his work in Scotland, the United States, and Canada, where he founded key institutions such as Naropa University and established numerous meditation centers. His legacy lives on in the Shambhala tradition, an innovative approach that seeks to integrate spirituality into everyday life.

The autobiographies of Buddhist masters, such as Born in Tibet, are essential within the Buddhist tradition, as they not only narrate personal experiences but also convey profound teachings in an accessible way. Through these accounts, readers can find inspiration and practical understanding on how to apply the Dharma to their own spiritual path.
