An introduction to Herbert V. Guenther,
This review is from: Tibetan Buddhism in Western Perspective (Reflections on Buddhism in the) (Paperback)
This is probably the most reader-friendly introduction to Herbert Guenther, one of the greatest translators of Tibetan Buddhist texts of today. It consists of his collected articles, which means his work is more easily introduced to the newcomer. What is attractive about Guenther's work is his depth of learning: he progressed from the modern German thinkers (in his native German) to the Sanskrit and Tibetan Buddhist exponents. It his ability to use modern language and modern concepts to bring us the brilliance of the Tibetan tradition. Of particular note is his article "The Spritual Teacher in Tibet" which really does elucidate that phenomenon of the "relationship with the guru" which so troubles onlookers. He demonstrates that the Tibetans creative developed the concept of the spitual teacher(lama), and indeed the Tibetans' own literary corpus was a brilliant and humanly relevant extension of the Indian tradition.His writings are very suitable for readers who may find translations (by other translators) of Tibetan texts inadequate.
