Warp and Weft of Wonderment, Volume 1
the Eighty-four Mahasiddhas, recounted by Ngak’chang Rinpoche
Mé-tsal Wangmo
The Mahasiddhas were the charismatic eccentric heroes and heroines of Vajrayana. The 21 life-stories in each volume of this epic represent a substantial literary compendium of the astounding lives of the 84 Mahasiddhas, recounted in creative contemporary linguistics by the English Lama, Ngak'chang Rinpoche. These hagiographies differ from the commonly known versions, and each Mahasiddha has a distinct personality and a strong individual voice. The stories contain humour and rich detail of Ancient India, and are accompanied by iconographic drawings by Khandro Déchen.
