Read the life story of Lama Yeshe, how he met Lama Zopa Rinpoche and how they created the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), one of the world's largest Tibetan Buddhist organizations.

This weighty, two volume tome was years in the making and is a wonder to behold. Unlike some bios of great monks, this is accessible and readable, not just as an extensively researched record of the Lama's fascinating life, but doubles as a source of Dharma, authentic teachings of the Buddha. The love and care that went into Big Love is evident. This old English teacher found no typo, not a one, and the hundreds of photos brought me great joy. Highest praises to the many folks who did this!
