5.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to Tibetan Kagyu lineage, December 25, 1999

I liked this introduction to the post-Padmasambhava (Kagyu red hat) Masters of the Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist Tradition.

Nice line drawings and plenty of great dharma. I especially appreciated the exchanges between the Great Gurus Tilopa and his then disciple Naropa. That is a thanka of Tilopa on the cover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting background study of the lineage, November 14, 2000

This review is from: The Great Kagyu Masters: The Golden Lineage Treasury (Paperback)

The book offers an interesting and entertaining look into the stories of the famous names in buddhist study. For those who want a further information as to why buddhists follow and honor these figures, it gives often lengthy accounts of their biographies, training, and accomplishments. Highly readable and informative.
