Tales My Lama Told Me
16 Jul
Well, its about time I blog about my new book, Tales My Lama Told Me. I enjoyed working on it although it took way too long to come out with this book. Can you believe that I started working on this book way before I even began writing There’s No Way But Up? The idea for this book came to me when I was transcribing Rinpoche’s teachings and I noticed how much I enjoyed all the little stories that Rinpoche told during the course of his teachings. Some stories were long and some were short. Some were traditional tales while others were recollections of his own experiences. In whatever length they were, I tried my level best to capture the mystique and magic of these stories….
Check out the exciting chapter headings… My favourite is of course the chapters 13 onwards as these are the stories directly from Rinpoche’s own experience.
Chapter 1 The Snobbish Saint
Chapter 2 The Celibate Monk
Chapter 3 The Dauntless One
Chapter 4 Spiritual Revolution
Chapter 5 Loden Sherab’s Gift
Chapter 6 The Miraculous Yogi
Chapter 7 A Man from Chatreng
Chapter 8 Practice of Patience
Chapter 9 Je Tsongkhapa
Chapter 10 Palden Zangpo’s Beads
Chapter 11 Miraculous Statues
Chapter 12 Shambala
Chapter 13 Childhood Buddhas
Chapter 14 These Hard Times
Chapter 15 A Glam Rock Dharma Story
Chapter 16 Endless Dharma Talks
Chapter 17 At the Feet of My Lama

Chapter 19 A Story of High Lamas
Chapter 20 Loud Mouth Lama
Chapter 21 Put to the Test

Hi David, I bought this book yesterday at kechara paradise. I really enjoy it and read till 1am. Now just left a few chapters to finish. It’s very inspiring. I broke into tears when I read Chapter 14, these hard times when I knew how Rinpoche had suffered during his childhood. And laugh heartly when I came across the weird lady story in Chapter 16, endless dharma talk.
I just want you to know that I truly enjoy this book and gain lots of knowledge (especially Chapter 9 Je Tsongkhapa and Chapter 12 Shambala) which are something new to me. And it really touches my heart when I read how sincere, persevere and commited Rinpoche and other great practitioners when comes to guru devotion, spiritual practices and how to benefit others.
Thank you very much for your kind effort and hardwork for sharing this with us. Keep up the good work and wish you would come out with more books to inspire others. I am going to finish this book by tonite…….
Can’t wait to read the book! I should do it this weekend and explore all the beautiful stories that you wrote. I will let you know once I finish the book. Now I can’t wait for the other book to be published. I am very sure it will be fabulous as well! Keep it up David. Looking forward to more books from you.
I am enjoying the book so far, it is like reliving the talks that Rinpoche gave to us all these years. Rinpoche speaks about so much in one sitting sometimes it is not so easy to catch all he say, in fact so many jokes I have missed out if you dont catch it fast enough.
David, put it for sale on amazon or book depository!
