Biography

by Alak Zenkar Rinpoche
This brief sketch of Jetsün Tāranātha's life provides details of his education and accomplishments and lists his main students and most important writings.
Biography
Tāranātha composed this biography of Padmasambhava in 1610. It is unique insofar as it does not follow the version of the life-story recounted in numerous terma texts. Instead, it follows the historical perspective of the Testimony of Ba, as well as several Nyingma tantras and their commentaries.
