Book summary
Appearing at a time when the increasing interreligious activity of the Dalai Lama and the growing outcry against Chinese repression have led to a resurgence of public interest in Tibetan Buddhism, the fourth volume in the "Princeton Readings in Religion" series fortuitously provides American readers with the first substantive anthology of Tibetan religious literature in English translation. Its 17 contributors have divided "Religions of Tibet in Practice" into thematic categories (i.e., "remarkable lives," "death and demons," and "time and place,") and included a diverse and representative sampling of significant texts representing all periods of Tibetan spirituality, plus a wide variety of Buddhist sects. The editors have also included an insightful and illuminating introduction encompassing the major themes of Tibetan religious practice.
