This website is happy to present Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche's autobiography The Illusory Play in the original Tibetan. Download the beautiful account of Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche's powerful, illustrious life and be astounded by the incredible impact that this high Lama has had in the Buddhist world. Below is an extract (translated to English) from this illuminating text:

"When you see the life stories of previous great beings it blows your mind! If you listen to their stories, it causes faith to grow. It has the power to plant imprints for liberation in the minds of trainees. But in the case of someone like me, a mass of confusion and inflicted by the three poisons, one who recognizes nothing but the three occasions, such benefits are as nonexistent as the fur on a turtle!

Although I lack such qualities, since I am supposed to bear the name of a Lama, by studying, contemplating, and practicing so that my life would not be wasted, at least, there will have been some small trace of an impact that I could say I had, in terms of of upholding and spreading the teachings. Left unexamined, that might seem to be the case, but if I check closely, my impact cannot stand up to scrutiny.

With a nature like the colors of a rainbow, there is nothing to be singled out! Therefore, for me to write about the troubles of this life will be but an imitation of previous great masters, like a bat pretending to be an eagle! It could be somewhat embarrassing to the wise!"
~ H.H. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, The Illusory Play
