"To Know a Buddha: A Tibetan Contemplative History and Its Implications for Religious Studies."

Each author's writings on emptiness were deeply informed by his own contemplative and visionary experiences. Such peak religious moments--along with historical, social, and textual context--must be considered seriously to provide the richest possible history of other-emptiness. application/pdf eng Copyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
