Full description

This chapter explores Tibetan understandings of character, personal identity, and questions of authorship, when the life story and spiritual writings in fact involve more than one person linked by a line of incarnation. The focus is the case study of Dudjom Rinpoche himself, his immediate predecessor, Dudjom Lingpa (bdud 'joms gling pa, 1835-1904), along with their seventeenth century former incarnation, Dudul Dorje (bdud 'dul rdo rje, 1615-1672).
