Description
This compelling study of the Ri-me movement and of the major Buddhist lineages of Tibet is comprehensive and accessible.
It includes an introduction to the history and philosophy of the Ri-me movement; a biography of the movement’s leader, the meditation master and philosopher known as Jamg?n Kongtrul the Great; helpful summaries of the eight lineages’ practice-and-study systems, which point out the different emphases of the schools; an explanation of the most hotly disputed concepts; and an overview of the old and new tantras.
