Update: 50 years ago ...

from Grant MacLean


This map from Born in Tibet
was drawn by Chogyam Trungpa

Fifty years ago, in June 1959, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and party reached an impasse at Langtso Kha. Unable to progress further for the time being, Rinpoche "began to work on an allegory about the Kingdom of Shambhala and its ruler who will liberate mankind at the end of the dark age."* During the remainder of the escape, this allegory, which is the first known reference to Shambhala in Trungpa Rinpoche's writings, grew into a two-volume epic which was lost as the party was crossing the Brahmaputra River into India.

Further updates from Grant on Trungpa Rinpoche's escape from Tibet throughout the year.
