Bibliographic Details Publisher: Snow Lion Pubns Published date: 1988 Edition: 1th edition Size: 5.5 x 8.5 inches Weight: 0.65 pounds Similar books A Voice at the Borders of Silence by William Segal A spiritual portrait of William Segal notes his achievements as the follower and interpreter of some of the twentieth century's most influential spiritual masters, describes the near-fatal car crash from which he emerged to renew his life's work, and reproduces many of his writings and works of art. Prayer Flags by Bri-Gun Chos-Rje Instructions for spiritual practice, especially the tantric path of Mahamudra. Old Path, White Clouds by Thich Nhat Hanh Apparitions of the Self by Janet Gyatso Apparitions of the Self is a groundbreaking investigation into what is known in Tibet as "secret autobiography," an exceptional, rarely studied literary genre that presents a personal exploration of intimate religious experiences. In this volume, Janet Gyatso translates and studies the outstanding pair of secret autobiographies by the famed Tibetan Buddhist visionary, Jigme Lingpa (1730-1798), whose poetic and self-conscious writings are as much about the nature of his own identity, memory, and the undecidabilities of autobiographical truth as they are narrations of the actual content of his experiences. Gyatso is among the first to consider Tibetan literature from a comparative perspective, examining the surprising fit--as well as the misfit--of Western literary theory with Tibetan autobiography. She examines the intriguing questions of why Tibetan Buddhists produced so many autobiographies (far more than other Asian Buddhists) and how autobiographical self-assertion is possible even while Buddhists believe that the self is ultimately an illusion. Also explored are Jigme Lingpa's historical milieu, his revelatory visions of the ancient Tibetan dynasty, and his meditative practices of personal cultivation. The book concludes with a study of the subversive female figure of the "avkinz" in Jigme Lingpa's writings, and the implications of her gender, her sexuality, and her unsettling discourse for the autobiographical subject in Tibet. Music in the Sky by Michele Martin Presents a biography of the seventeenth Karmapa, discussing a history of his life, including his escape from Chinese occupied Tibet to northern India, and offering some of his teachings, wisdom, and accomplishments.
