Tibetan Buddhism is the most widely encountered and generally known
Buddhist tradition in the world. From meditation classes to garden
statues, from music and film to the popularity of the Dalai Lama,
Introducing Tibetan Buddhism is the ideal starting point for
students wishing to undertake a comprehensive study of the
fascinating Tibetan Buddhist and Tibetan Bon religions. This lively
introduction covers the whole spectrum of Tibetan religious
history, from early Tibetan figures, and the development of the old
and new schools of Buddhism, to the spread and influence of Tibetan
Buddhism throughout the world. Geoffrey Samuel, an experienced
teacher of Tibetan religions, introduces the major contemporary
Buddhist traditions of Nyingmapa, Kagyupa, Sakyapa, Geluga and Bon,
and the bodies of Tibetan textual material, including the writings
of major lamas, and the relationship between the practical and
textual transmission of the religion. Illustrated throughout, the
book also includes text boxes, summary charts, a glossary and a
list of further reading to aid students' understanding and
revision. The accompanying website for this book can be found at
