Detailed Product Description

Oxford, 1957, 1st edition. 324 pp, with fold-out map and 40 black & white photo plates. One of the scarcest and best books on the history and practices of Tibetan Buddhism. An excellent and thorough work, covering Buddhisms origins in India, Tantric Buddhism, Buddhism in Nepal, Kings of Tibet, Religious teachers of Tibet, Tibetan Ceremonies and reflections. DJ, Near Fine.

This book begin with the earliest Buddhist period and describes the various developments which have led up to present-day Tibetan Buddhism. It attempts to show Buddhism throughout primarily from the Tibetan point of view. Since Tibetan Buddhism is almost entirely of Indian origin, the account is largely one of past cultural contacts between India and Tibet, either direct or with Nepal as intermediary.

It is in Himalayan regions that we must seek the cultural and archaeological traces of past contacts, and here also that we meet with the active influence of Tibetan religion in districts which have turned to Tibet for guidance, now that Buddhism has all but disappeared in the land of its origin. While the substance of an account of this kind must be sound research, the inspiration has been provided by the author's own travels in these remote areas.

Plus Notes, Mandalas, On the Spelling of Tibetan and Sanskrit Names, Chronology, Bibliography, Abbreviations, General index, Tibetan index.
