Detalles del libro
The Tibetan Assimilation of Buddhism explores the manner in which Buddhism penetrated Tibetan religious thought and became a core component of Tibetan identity. Author Matthew Kapstein examines Tibet's eighth-century conversion to Buddhism, the tensions that arose from competing lines of transmission and interpretation, and the continuing revelation of Buddhist teaching in the myths and doctrines of the ancient Nyingmapa school. These themes - conversion, contestation, and memory - form a unifying framework for the diverse case studies described in this book." "Drawing on a wide range of original Tibetan sources such as historical narratives, imperial edicts, philosophical treatises, polemical writings, and works on yoga and meditation, Kapstein introduces the varied textures to thought and expression within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Throughout this study, the investigation of specific topics is informed methodologically and theoretically by contemporary work in religion, history, and philosophy. By drawing on modern systems of thought, Kapstein is able to illuminate the subject in a manner that speaks to our own cultural world." "Offering a wide-ranging view of the history and development of Tibetan Buddhism, this book is required reading for scholars and students of Buddhism and Asian Religions, historians of religion, and anyone seeking deeper knowledge of the Buddhist tradition.- Editorial OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
