Daniel Aitken of Wisdom Publications visited His Eminence Ling Rinpoche in Dharamsala to present him with a copy of The Life of My Teacher, a biography of His Holiness the 6th Kyabjé Yongzin Ling Rinpoche. It was written in the traditional style of a Tibetan spiritual biography by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and translated into English by Gavin Kilty for the Wisdom Publications edition (published this month). This is the only biography His Holiness the Dalai Lama has written himself. It tells the story of H.H. the Dalai Lama’s Principal Teacher, H.H. the 6th Kyabjé Yongzin Ling Rinpoche, whom His Holiness describes as “the greatest influence of my life”.

His Eminence Ling Rinpoche consulted with the Nechung Oracle in trance and made offerings to the monks at Nechung Monastery in Dharamsala.
