Togden Shakya Shri – Life and Liberation of a Tibetan Togden 2011

The Extraordinary Life of a Realised Tibetan Master

Togden Shakya Shri: The Life and Liberation of a Tibetan Togden is a rare and profound biographical account of one of Tibet's most extraordinary spiritual masters. Published by Shang Shung Publications — the official publisher of the international Dzogchen Community — this book documents the life of Shakya Shri, a togden of the highest realisation.

A togden (literally "one who has realised the nature of mind") is among the rarest of Tibetan spiritual figures — a fully accomplished yogi who has spent decades in solitary retreat, mastering the most advanced practices of Vajrayana Buddhism and Dzogchen. Their lives are living transmissions of the dharma, and their biographies — known as namthar or liberation stories — are considered sacred texts in their own right.

This is not a book for the casual reader — it is a treasure for serious students of Tibetan Buddhism, Dzogchen, and the living tradition of realised masters. Extremely rare outside specialist Buddhist publishers and centres.

Inside you'll explore:

• The life story and spiritual journey of Togden Shakya Shri
• The Tibetan tradition of togdens and their role in preserving tantric lineages
• Dzogchen and Vajrayana practice at the highest levels
• The nature of liberation as lived and embodied by a realised master
