A leading writer and researcher on Tibet, Sam van Schaik offers an
accessible and authoritative introduction to Tibetan Buddhism by
examining its key texts, from its origins in the eighth century to
teachings practiced across the world today. In addition to
demonstrating its richness and historical importance, van Schaik's
fresh translations of and introductions to each text provide a
comprehensive overview of Tibetan Buddhism's most popular teachings
and concepts-including rebirth, compassion, mindfulness, tantric
deities, and the graduated path-and discusses how each is put into
practice. The book unfolds chronologically, conveying a sense of
this thousand-year-old tradition's progress and evolution. Under
the spiritual leadership of the Dalai Lama, Tibetan Buddhism has an
estimated ten to twenty million adherents worldwide. Written for
those new to the topic, but also useful to seasoned Buddhist
practitioners and students, this much-needed anthological
introduction provides the deepest understanding of the key writings
currently available.
