Listen "2.16 - The Sons of Trisong Detsen"
Episode Synopsis
Trisong Detsen, Second Dharma King of Tibet, is not long for the world. But of the four sons who he fathered, who would succeed him? One died a premature death, another exiled for a vile act, still another a hopeless dreamer, and the last too young to take up the throne. Tibet would see its first Tsenpos raised in the Buddhist faith in the early 9th century. Even more committed to the religion than their father had been, they sought to cement the Dharma's legacy in their country, permanently. Check out the series page on the website for a glossary, bibliography, images and maps!
