"Sakya Paònòdita Kunga Gyaltsen (1182-1251) was a renowned Tibetan polymath, scholar, statesman, and religious master, and one of the most famous and consequential figures in the history of Tibet. The three biographies included here contain fascinating first-hand accounts of key events in Sakya Paònòdita's life, covering his family ancestry, early education, interactions and debates with other sects, travels to Mongolia and his diplomacy at the Mongol court, and a detailed account of the miraculous events that occurred in the last weeks of his life. These were written by three central figures of the Sakya tradition: Drogèon Chèogyal Phakpa (Lodrèo Gyaltsen) (1235-1280), who was Sakya Paònòdita's nephew and religious successor; Gorampa Sèonam Sengâe (1429-1489), a renowned Sakya scholar and prolific author who served as the sixth abbot of Ngor Monastery; and Jamgèon Ameshab (Ngawang Kunga Sèonam) (1597-1659), who was the twenty-seventh throne holder of the Sakya order and one of the foremost Tibetan literary and historical scholars of his time. These three biographies, chosen and introduced by His Holiness the Sakya Trichen, demonstrate the unique compositional style of traditional Tibetan religious biography and contain many fascinating first-person accounts of what it was like to spend time in the presence of a great Buddhist master and statesman who lived one thousand years ago in the midst of one of Asia's most tumultuous periods"--

Autorenporträt
Drogon Chogyal Phakpa (Lodro Gyaltsen) (1235–1280) was the seventh Sakya Trizin and fifth of the five founding masters of the Sakya order. Although his religious name is Lodro Gyaltsen, he is better known by his title, Drogon Chogyal Phakpa. Chogyal Phakpa was Sakya Pandita’s primary disciple, religious heir, and paternal nephew. He accompanied Sakya Pandita on his travels to the Mongol Court and participated in his activities there. He was at Sakya Pandita’s side to witness the miraculous nature of the great master’s passing into parinirvana, described in vivid detail in his biography. Shortly thereafter, at the age of only nineteen, Chogyal Phakpa so impressed Emperor Kublai Khan that the khan designated him his personal religious master with the title of tishri, and gave him religious and secular authority over the three provinces of Tibet.
