Synopsis:
A beautifully illustrated book which introduces the sacred world of the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It includes information on some of the main teachers and monasteries of the Karma Kagyu school in India and Nepal, plus a special section on the Karmapas, the spiritual head of the lineage, including the present Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje. There are also sections on Tibetan Buddhism in the West, on daily life in the monastery, plus hints for travelling to India and Nepal.
"This useful book focuses on the Karma Kagyu lineage and its monasteries that now flourish in India and Nepal. It provides helpful background information about the origins of Buddhism, the Tibetan tradition and specifically the Karma Kagyu transmission. I am pleased that the author, an experienced bhikkhuni (fully ordained nun) who completed the traditional Kagyu three years retreat, reveals something of the actual way of life within the monasteries and how monastic training takes place. I am sure readers interested in the Karma Kagyu tradition will find the book a valuable source of information." The Dalai Lama. |
