Part 1: The Life in the old world
Part 2: Life and Travels in exile (1960-1987)
A Saint in Seattle is the inspiring and unlikely life story of a modern buddha. In 1960, the Tibetan Lama Dezhung Rinpoche (1906-1987) arrived in Seattle after being forced into exile from his native land by the Communist Chinese. Already a revered master of the teachings of all the Tibetan Buddhist schools, he would eventually become a teacher of some of the Western Buddhism's most noted scholars.
