The vivid account of the life of Orgyan Chokyi (1675-1729), who spent her life in Dolpo. Illiterate and expressly forbidden by her master to record her life, Orgyan Chokyi is said to have received divine inspiration to write this tale. Scaeffer gives an overview of regious traditions and a history of this early autobiography in part one of the book.  (NPL56, $24.95)
