The Bee Story

Acclaimed Buddhist teacher Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche’s commentary and translation of the renowned 19th-century wandering yogi Patrul Rinpoche’s beloved Tibetan text, The Drama of the Flower-Gathering Garden, reminds readers that—regardless of relative circumstances—our lives are precious and fleeting. The commentary is interwoven with two different translations of the original Tibetan text—Tulku Thondup’s, as well as Dzigar Kongtrul’s, translated with teacher Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel, and in print for the first time.
