商品簡介
The transmission of early Tantric manuscripts through the writings of A-mes-zhabs, a seventieth century collector of Sakyapa tradition in India and Tibet is presented here. In this meticulous study, Sobisch (University of Copenhagen) analyses several early works of Hevajra teachings: The Notes on How to Enter into the Writings of the Sakyapas, the /Yellow Book on the Path with its Fruit, the Red Book as well as other works recording the teaching A-mes-zhabs. Sobisch presumes that the reader will have some familiarity with the subject and the Tibetan language. For experts and students in the field, this will be a useful reference.
