 Click to enlarge | THE RISE OF ESOTERIC BUDDHISM IN TIBETby Eva M. Dargyay272 pp., appendix, biblio., index, cloth. #RIESBU - regular price $ 20.00 The history of the Nyingmapa School of Tibetan Buddhism goes far beyond the eminent tantric master Padmasambhava: some sources hint at a non-Indian origin of some tantric cycles. The tradition of the Nyingma School is divided into two lineages: one of the Pronouncements and the other of the Concealed Treasures. Each lineage is discussed in detail--more than twenty biographies of the famous masters of the Old School are rendered. The author's commentary aims at giving an impression of the spiritual life within the Old School and links the results of this study with the existing knowledge of esoteric Buddhism. |
