5.0 out of 5 stars
An Outstanding Feat,
By Anders Nygaard (Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism: Its Fundamentals and History, Two Volumes (Wisdom Advanced Book Blue) (Hardcover)
The two volumes are both extremely useful for anyone seriously interested in Buddhist philosophy in general and Tibetan Buddhism in particular. Dudjom Rinpoche gives a thorough, encyclopedic overview of all Buddhist schools, seen from the Nyingma (i.e. The Great Perfection, or Dzogchen) perspective, and an account of the history of the Nyingma lineage is given. The reference volume contains amongst other items a brilliant bibliography. Dudjom Rinpoche's work is not easy reading, but demonstrates the complexity of Buddhist thinking and practice. Gyurme Dorje's translation is annotated and is in itself a remarkable feat in buddhology and tibetology.

This review is from: The Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism: Its Fundamentals and History (Hardcover)
This tome is a must for those interested in theory and practice in the Nyingma tradition. The section on the 9 yanas is excellent. It will be a lifelong reference work for me.
