Chogyam Trungpa meditation master, scholar, and artist was identified at the
age of only thirteen months as a major tulku, or reincarnation of an
enlightened teacher. As the eleventh in the teaching lineage known as the
Trungpa tulkus, he underwent a period of intensive training in mediation,
philosophy, and fine arts, receiving full ordination as a monk in 1958 at the
age of eighteen. The following year, the Chinese Communists invaded Tibet, and the young Trungpa spent many harrowing months
trekking over the Himalayas, narrowly escaping capture.
