Shantarakshita
Jamgön Mipham (1846-1912), one of the great luminaries of Tibetan Buddhism in modern times, has had a dominant and vitalizing influence on the Nyingma School and beyond.

A scholar of outstanding brilliance and versatility, his translated works are eagerly anticipated by English-language readers.
