Description About the author
 
A Marvelous Garland of Rare Gems: Biographies of Masters of Awareness in the Dzogchen Lineage is the only comprehensive history of the Nyingtik lineage, which forms the core of the body of teachings known as Dzogchen (Great Perfection) in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. It was written by the late Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, Jamyang Dorje (1931-1999), one of the most outstanding and knowledgeable exponents of Dzogchen. In this work, framed as a series of biographical accounts, Nyoshul Khenpo provides a wealth of information invaluable to spiritual practitioners as well as to historians studying the cultures of central Asia.

5 of 5 Resourceful ! June 2, 2007
Reviewer: andrew from Hong Kong  
I have yet to read this translation but the Chinese one has been published for a while.

English readers who enjoyed   Masters of Meditation and Miracles( the book on longchen nyingthig lineage) will find it very useful. Dzogchen masters from different  lineages are described and the book keeps track of them through a  who's who  lineage tree format. Some biographies complement the MMM book and I find myself cross-checking the life stories of various masters.
