In this latest addition to his memoirs, Lingwood, better known as Urgyen Sangharakshita, shares his recollections of the diverse men and women who lived in and passed through Kalimpong: the Tibetan gurus, peasant farmers, tradesmen, and travelling academics. Some teachers, like Dudjom Rimpoche and Dilgo Khyentse Rimpoche, formally impart their wisdom and learning, while others teach invaluable lessons by just living their lives.
