My Life and Lives: Khyongla Rato, The Story of a Tibetan Incarnation is a book, the autobiography of Khyongla Rato Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist scholar and teacher, an incarnate lama who was born in the Kham district of Tibet in 1923. The introduction to the book was written by the mythologist Joseph Campbell, who also edited the book. ''My Life and Lives'' was first published in 1977, and a second edition was published in 1991. The book focuses primarily on Khyongla Rato's years in Tibet, before the Tibetan diaspora, which began in 1959. It gives a detailed first-person account of life in Tibet's great monastic universities. The book was awarded Amazon "Best Book of 2014" status.〔Website Amazon.com My Life and Lives: The Story of a Tibetan Incarnation, () Accessed 2104.11.26〕 ==Subject== Khyongla Rato recounts that he when he was born in 1923 in Ophor, a small village south of Chamdo in the Kham district of Tibet, he was given the name Norbu. At the age of five, Norbu was recognized as a tulku, the 10th incarnation of the lama from the Chung district, i.e. as "Khyongla". At age six he is taken to his labrang, and from there subsequently to Rato Monastery, and in time to Gyudto Tantric College in Lhasa.〔Website Columbia.edu, Tibetan History, 20th Century, Wikicholars, "My Life ad Lives--The Story of a Tibetan Incarnation" by Erin Marino, October 26, 2009, () Accessed 2104.11.26〕 Then the catastrophic events of the late 1950s are recounted, and Khyongla Rato leaves Lhasa on the same day that the 14th Dalai Lama secretly leaves to escape into exile over the Himalayas into India. The last chapter and the epilogue give a brief account of his time in India, and finally his move to New York City, where in 1975, he founded The Tibet Center. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Life and Lives」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
