Now in paperback: a comprehensive insider’s guide to Tibetan Buddhism’s riches written for general readers by its foremost Western scholar – and the first American Tibetan Buddhist monk – Robert A. F. Thurman.

Despite its burgeoning influence, few people truly understand the core beliefs, traditions, and movements of this popular Eastern religion. Robert Thurman, professor of Indo-Tibetan studies at Columbia University, has assembled the first guide to Tibetan Buddhism that introduces the distinctive Tibetan practice through its own rich literature. He includes excerpts from The Book of the Dead as well as lesser known but comparable scriptures.

Essential Tibetan Buddhism is a part of The Essential Series, beautifully packaged works that feature the core texts of major religious traditions in definitive translations, edited by leading authorities.

TRICYCLE

From the Back Cover:

WINNER OF THE TRICYCLE PRIZE FOR EXCELLENCE

Expertly and lucidly surveying the basic varieties and teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, renowned scholar Robert Thurman makes this authentic spiritual tradition available to contemporary Western audiences as never before. The very first collection of key Tibetan teachings on Buddhism and attaining enlightenment, 'Essential Tibetan Buddhism' includes all the vital texts, freshly translated.

Robert A. F. Thurman, the Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Studies at Columbia University, 'is a prolific translator and writer, a powerful advocate for the liberation of Tibet and the Dalai Lama's cultural liaison to America' '(New York Times Magazine)'. His books include a new translation of 'The Tibetan Book of the Dead' and 'Inside Tibetan Buddhism'.

"A vibrant, accessible introduction to the heart of Tibetan Buddhism through its own rich literature from 'the most visible and charismatic exponent of Tibetan Buddhism'"
RODGER KAMENTZ 'New York Times Magazine'
