Nyima Tashi: The Songs & Instructions of the First Traleg KyabgAn Rinpoche

This is the English translation of Nyima Taski’s brief account of his recollections, prophecies of future births, and includes a foreword by the Ninth Kyabgon Traleg Rinpoche, Gampopa, the peerless physician from Dakpo, who was repeatedly predicted and praised by the Buddha, and who caused the teachings of the lineage of accomplishment to become widespread in the Himalayan land of Tibet. Among his disciples were five hundred great mediators, of whom the greatest and most famous were the three Khampas. One of these three was the Khampa Saltong Shogom, who achieved the greatest mastery of the channels and winds through the practice of chandali. His rebirth was Nyima Tashi the Birth-Recollector, who devoted his life to silent practice in sealed retreat. He saw the faces of yidams, realised Mahamudra, and thereafter recounted his previous births and prophesied his future ones. It is certain that disciples who study this book will plant the seed of liberation in their continuums.
