Book Synopsis
In 1941, philosopher and poet Gendun Chopel (1903-51) sent a large manuscript by ship, train, and yak across mountains and deserts to his homeland in the northeastern corner of Tibet. He would follow it five years later, returning to his native land after twelve years in India and Sri Lanka.

Trade Review
"Gendun Chopel's Grains of Gold is the magnum opus of arguably the single most brilliant Tibetan scholar of the twentieth century, and the team of Donald S. Lopez Jr. and renowned translator Thupten Jinpa is the ideal combination of talents to expertly render its eclectic contents into faithful but accessible English. This excellent translation will be enthusiastically (and gratefully) welcomed by both scholars and general readers." -Lauran Hartley, Columbia University"
