Zangdok Palri of Kurjey: A Sublime Manifestation of the Lotus Light Palace of Guru Rinpoche in Bhutan
Text by Dasho Sangye Dorji with contributions from H.E. Dolpo Tulku Rinpoche and Pema Wangdi
Edited by Kesang Choden T. Wangchuck and Supawan Pui Lamsam
Zangdok Palri of Kurjey: A Sublime Manifestation of the Lotus Light Palace of Guru Rinpoche in Bhutan is the final volume in a trilogy that honors Guru Padmasambhava and his sacred paradise, Zangdok Palri. Born from over a decade of devotion, this long-awaited book offers an intimate glimpse into the Zangdok Palri temple at Kurjey, Bumthang—an exquisite representation of the Lotus Light Palace.
The book delves into the profound spiritual connection shared between His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Her Majesty Royal Grandmother Gyalyum Kesang Choeden Wangchuck, and her mother, Mayum Choeying Wangmo Dorji. Their collective devotion was instrumental in bringing the Zangdok Palri temple to life. Rich with stunning photographs and personal reflections, the volume also features a heartfelt foreword by His Eminence Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, along with an insightful explanation of the Maha Guru Prayer by Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal, a key prayer in Guru Rinpoche’s teachings.
This two-part book set includes the main volume and an accompanying prayer book, Path of Pure Devotion, which features Her Majesty’s favorite prayers, particularly the Maha Guru Prayer by Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal. Zangdok Palri of Kurjey stands as both a tribute to the sacred Lotus Light Palace and a timeless testament to Bhutan’s spiritual legacy.
All proceeds and donations from this book support The Gyalyum Kesang Choeden Wangchuck Trust Fund, dedicated to sustaining the livelihood and education of over 500 monastics, preserving Bhutan’s cultural and spiritual heritage, and advances crucial healthcare services—including eye care, cancer treatment, kidney support, intensive care, and palliative care.
