Contents: 1. Historical. 2. Doctrinal. 3. Monastic. 4. Buildings. 5. Mythology and Gods. 6. Ritual and sorcery. 7. Festivals and plays. 8. Popular Lamaism. Appendices. Index. "The special characteristics of the book are its detailed accounts of the external facts and curious symbolisms of Buddhism, and its analyses of the internal movements leading to Lamaism and its sects and cults. It provides material culled from hoary Tibetan tradition and explained by Lamas for elucidating many obscure parts in primitive Indian Buddhism and its later symbolism. Thus a clue is supplied to several dispute doctrinal points of fundamental importance, as for example the formula of the casual nexus. "With this view the nabulous Tibetan "history" so called of the earlier periods has been somewhat critically examined in the light afforded by some scholarly Lamas and contemporary history and all fictitious chronicles, hitherto treated usually as historical and rejected as authoritative for events which happened a thousand years before they were written and for a time when writing was admittedly unknown in Tibet." 598 pp

Large octavo. lxi 1 618 pp. Publisher's blue cloth with gilt spine lettering front cover with an Asian deity in gilt marbled brown endpapers. Matching publisher's slipcase. An excellent copy of this Tibetan classic.The epic of Gesar is the longest single piece of literature in the world canon encompassing some 120 volumes; here the first three volumes are translated telling of Gesar's birth his mischievous childhood and his youth spent in exile and his rivalry for the throne with his treacherous uncle. For hundreds of years versions of the Gesar of Ling epic have been sung by bards in Tibet China Central Asia and across the eastern Silk Route. King Gesar renowned throughout these areas represents the ideal warrior. As a leader with his people's loyalty and trust he conquers all their enemies and protects the peace. The example of King Gesar is also understood as a spiritual teaching. The "enemies" in the stories represent the emotional and psychological challenges that turn people toward greed aggression and envy and away from the true teachings of Buddhism. Shambhala hardcover
