A delightful and
ingenuous autobiography of a modern day Chod master, who practices the
very rare Zhije as well as Chod. Though living the traditional
lifestyle of a wandering yogin in modern-day Tibet, it may turn out
that these ancient, exotic practices are perfectly relevant right now.

and healer.

The
Chod, Dzogchen yogas and pilgrimage that Lama Wangdu alludes to are at

everyone concerned with their ultimate spiritual health.
