Synopsis:
This is the first comprehensive introduction to Tibetan Buddhism. It opens with a summary of the Indian origins of Tibetan Buddhism and then goes on to explore the four main schools - Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya and Gelug, as well as Bon, in depth and without bias. This is a systematic and wonderfully clear presentation of Tibetan philosophical views and practices. It covers Tibetan religious history and culture, festivals, death and dying in Tibetan Buddhism, tantra, and the distinctive practices of each of the main schools.
"Presents the wide spectrum of Tibetan Buddhism in clear, concise form with Western methodology and critical appreciation. This work beautifully elucidates the nature of the complex religious and philosophical disciplines of Tibet." Lobsang Lhalungpa.
"A comprehensive and eminently comprehensible overview. Powrer`s substantial book is able to discuss even the most complex aspects of Tibetan Buddhism in astraight-forward and engaging manner. He conveys the drama of the history of this multi-faceted tradition, while his descriptions of Tibetan geography, architecture e.t.c.give us a vivid picture of life in Tibet." Booklist. |
