In A Golden Swan in Turbulent Waters: The Life and Times of the Tenth Karmapa Choying Dorje, the author Shamar Rinpoche introduces the re-markable bodhisattva and artist, the Tenth Karmapa (1604- 1674), through his translations of the Karmapa’s autobiographical writings and an eight-eenth- century biography. Shamar Rinpoche shares his unique knowledge and experience through extensive an-notations and a historical overview of Tibet from the thirteenth through sev-enteenth century, a time of dramatic change.
