About The BookFrom Tibet in the 1970's to the States in the 1990's, Rinpoche is the story of a Tibetan child who witnessed the massacre of his family by occupying Chinese forces. After a long and terrifying escape to India, Tenzin Rinpoche, the incarnation of a Tibetan yogi, became a renowned expert in martial arts but was never able to relieve his disturbing memories and emotional pain. When he met American photographer, Sarah, at a Tibetan monastery in the States, they recognized their profound karmic connection which in turn became an intense love that brought spiritual awakening followed by devastating heartbreak and loss. Moving between twentieth century Tibet and the West, Rinpoche explores what can happen to a child who experiences wartime atrocities.About The AuthorLama Karma Chötso has been a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism since March 1982, ordaining as a novice nun in 1986 prior to enter a three-year, three-month secluded meditation retreat. After completing the retreat in 1990, she traveled extensively in India, Nepal and Tibet. In 1996, Lama Karma Chotso founded the first center of the Kagyu Lineage in Florida and led the Buddhist community in building Tibetan stupas on the Miami Little River. Lama Karma Chötso has lectured and taught at many Florida venues and in Buddhist centers around the US. She founded a Kagyu Buddhist center in Lima, Peru where she still teaches and the sangha there has built a Tibetan stupa in the Amazon basin.
