The three biographies included here contain fascinating firsthand accounts of key events in Sakya Pandita's life, covering his family ancestry, early education, interactions and ddebates with other sects, and travels to Mongolia and his diplomacy at the Mongol court, as well as a detailed account of the miraculous events that occurred in the last weeks of his life. These were written by three central figures of the Sakya tradition: Drogon Chogyal Phakpa (Lodro Gyaltsen) (123580), who was Sakya Pandita's nephew and religious successor; Gorampa Sonam Senge (142989), a renowned Sakya scholar and prolific author who served as the sixth abbot of Ngor Monastery; and Jamgon Ameshab (Ngawang Kunga Sonam) (15971659), who was the twenty-seventh throne holder of the Sakya order and one of the foremost Tibetan literary and historical scholars of his time. The translations demonstrate the unique compositional style of traditional Tibetan religious biography and contain many fascinating first-person accounts of what it was like to spend time in the presence of a great Buddhist master and statesman who lived one thousand years ago in the midst of one of Asia's most tumultuous periods.

Autorenporträt

Drogon Chogyal Phakpa (Lodro Gyaltsen) (1235-1280) was the seventh Sakya Trizin and fifth of the five founding masters of the Sakya order. Although his religious name is Lodro Gyaltsen, he is better known by his title, Drogon Chogyal Phakpa. Chogyal Phakpa was Sakya Pandita's primary disciple, religious heir, and paternal nephew. He accompanied Sakya Pandita on his travels to the Mongol Court and participated in his activities there. He was at Sakya Pandita's side to witness the miraculous nature of the great master's passing into parinirvana, described in vivid detail in his biography. Shortly thereafter, at the age of only nineteen, Chogyal Phakpa so impressed Emperor Kublai Khan that the khan designated him his personal religious master with the title of tishri, and gave him religious and secular authority over the three provinces of Tibet.
