Enlightened Vagabond

The Life and Teachings of Patrul Rinpoche

By: Matthieu Ricard - editor and translator, Constance Wilkinson - editor

Narrated by: Roger Clark

Colorful stories about and profound teachings of Patrul Rinpoche, one of the most impactful teachers and thinkers in the Tibetan tradition from the 19th century.

The life and teachings of the wandering yogi Patrul Rinpoche - a highly revered Buddhist master and scholar of 19th-century Tibet - come alive in true stories gathered and translated by the French Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard over more than 30 years, based on the oral accounts of great contemporary teachers as well as written sources. Patrul's life story reveals the nature of a highly realized being as he transmits the Dharma in everything he does, teaching both simple nomads and great lamas in ways that are often unconventional and even humorous, but always with uncompromising authenticity.

Life Changing

I have been lost for a year now, disconnected from formal practice. this book has invoked profound devotion and discipline within me and through this I have made my way back to consistent practice and a life of true purpose

Teaching of Patrul

Very well! Great voice of reader. Without the physicality of a book, I loved the seamless ability of listening on my phone while doing house tasks and shutting my eyes in the dark to listen in bed.

A True Bodhisattva

Wonderful teachings by a great enlightened being. He is so humble and full of compassion. He indicated a good heart and kindness are key essential qualities for beings to live by. He was committed and dedicated in his spiritual practice, never wanted to accept any offerings given to him. He was a true renunciant with the heart of a Bodhisattva. Great book for spiritual seekers.
