This charming story was told by Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche many years ago and edited by Lama Norbu as part of the ongoing Padma Publishing children's series. The book is illustrated by Alan Capetilla, an amusing and innovative Brazilian artist ~ it is a suitable story for all ages.
"Long ago, and far away, in a beautiful place where the mountains were so high that they touched the sky, Zangpo lived with his mother. Their house nestled on a hill. It was simple but cozy, built to keep out the cold winter winds that blew through Tibet.
Zangpo was a very special boy. He loved and respected his mother and was generous with everyone he knew. He treated even the animals with kindness and compassion. . ."
Beautifully illustrated in full color throughout.
Zangpo and the Turquoise Horn, Chagdud Tulku, Padma Publishing, Paperback, 30 pages, 2012, $15.00
Born in eastern Tibet in 1930, His Eminence Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche was recognized at the age of two as the reincarnation of the abbot of Chagdud Monastery. The monastery was established in the early thirteenth century and is still standing today. The son of Dawa Drolma, one ofTibet's most renowned female lamas, Chagdud Rinpoche received extensive training from many great lamas and belongs to the last generation of teachers to have received complete training in the vast wealth of Vajrayana Buddhist teachings and methods while still living in Tibet. In 1959, he was forced into exile and, during the two decadees that followed, served the Tibetan community in India and Nepal as lama and p[hysician. In 1979, at the invitation of some of his students, Rinpoche came to the West and began establishing teaching centers. Chagdud Gonpa Foundation now has more than a dozen cetners throughout North America, as well as a constantly growing number of local practice groups. Rinpoche moved his primary residence to Brazil in 1995, where he has established six centers. In addition to his scholarship, realization, and boundless compassion, the evocative power of Chagdud Rinpoche's singing voice has made him renowned among both Tibetans and Westerners.
