The first complete translation into English of this Tibetan text,
together with the informative commentary by the 8th century master
Buddhaguhya. This text is of seminal importance for the history of
Buddhist Tantra, especially as very little has been published
concerning the origins of Tantra in India.

Classical Tibetan, with origins dating to the ninth century, is the
script found in a huge corpus of surviving Tibetan texts, mostly of
Buddhist content; native Tibetans still employ this language, to
this day when writing on religious, medical or historical subjects.
The aim of this book is to provide a rapid introduction to the main
elements of Classical Tibetan, so that students may begin to access
for themselves the vast amount of written material available in
this language. While designed for guided study, the material will
also be of use to those who tackle the language on their own.
Regular study over approximately six months should result in an
understanding of most grammatical features and allow the student to
read the simpler prose texts.
