THE PHILOSOPHICAL VIEW OF THE GREAT PERFECTION IN THE TIBETAN BON RELIGION

by Donatella Rossi

"A fascinating and joyful book to recommend--perceptively edited"--Thomas Peter von Bahr, New Age Retailer

Dzogchen is presented by way of two complete Bonpo texts belonging to the revered terma and oral traditions, here translated and critically edited for the first time in their entirety.

"Donatella Rossi has translated and annotated two important ancient Dzogchen texts from Bon, the native religious tradition of Tibet. Her useful Introduction gives a broad overview of the history of Bon, as well as a brief study of the history and doctrines of the teachings of Dzogchen in Bon. The short section on methodology that precedes a helpful examination of key Dzogchen terms offers a succinct appraisal of the two texts presented. Donatella is to be greatly commended and thanked for her work in translating and commenting two important Dzogchen texts and for the valuable insights it offers."--The Mirror

"...very interesting and which should attract the attention not only of specialists in this field but also of non-Tibetologist readers."-- Tibet Journal

Donatella Rossi has a Ph.D. in History of Religions and Tibetology from the University of Oslo, Norway.
