Autorenporträt
Dharmakirti (7th c.) is universally renowned as one of the greatest philosophers India produced in the first millennium. Born into a Brahmin family, he first mastered the Vedas and non-Buddhist philosophies but realized their faults when he encountered the Buddhist scriptures. He became a master of Buddhist logic and philosophy, developing an unrivaled understanding of the works of Dignaga in particular. His own works, including The Commentary on Validity, continue to form an integral part of the studies of Buddhist and non-Buddhist philosophy in India and Tibet to this day.The Seventh Karmapa Chödrak Gyatso (1454-1506) was recognized soon after his birth as the reincarnation of the Sixth Karmapa Thongwa Dönden. He showed his remarkable talents from an early age, giving Dharma teachings even as a small child. He received countless transmissions primarily from his guru Goshri Paljor Döndrup, and became renowned not just for the breadth and depth of his knowledge but also for remaining continually within samadhi meditation. He spent his life traveling throughout Tibet in the Great Encampment, settling conflicts and bringing peace wherever he went.David Karma Choephel studied Buddhist philosophy at the Varja Vidya Institute in Namo Buddha, Nepal, and Sarnath, India. He currently serves as Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoches main English-language translator, and also translates for the Gyalwang Karmapa and the Kagyu Monlam. His published translations include Ngondro for Our Current Day by the Gyalwang Karmapa and Heart of the Dharma by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, both published by KTD Publications, and Vivid Awareness: The Mind Instructions of Khenpo Gangshar by Thrangu Rinpoche, published by Shambhala Publications.
