Description
The Sherpa Buddhist monk Ngawang Leksh. (1913- 1983), familiarly known as Auleshi-a name that might be approximated as "Uncle Benedict" in English-occupies a unique place in the history of Buddhism in twentieth century Nepal. At once an accomplished artist and a yogi living always in retreat, he eschewed the trappings of a "Buddhist master" but taught instead through his art and, above all, his personal example. In this, he embodied the ideal of transmitting the Dharma without teaching a word. As we honor the hundred-and-tenth anniversary of his birth, and fortieth since his death, with those who knew him now few, it seems appropriate to make available to all what may be recalled of his life and work.
