即使是在至暗時刻，灰燼中的火苗也得以重燃。撥爐有火，謹以此書的中譯出版，獻給先賢勇士。對於西藏佛教歷史或教義感興趣的讀者來說，這是一部難得的讀本。「這本書是藏學家羅納德．戴維森的代表作之一，反映的是歷史文獻學者視角下的西藏歷史與教法演變，特別是薩迦派道果系統教法的文獻成型過程。希望此中譯本的出版，對於臺灣佛學、藏學研究社群，能有所助益。」——梅靜軒〈導讀〉西元950～1200年之間的西藏社會，是如何從武裝游擊兵的交鋒與體制崩潰的邊緣，轉化為由瑜伽士與學者所引導的佛教文化世界？作者羅納德．戴維森（Ronald M. Davidson）認為這是由於一群活躍於此時期的僧侶、瑜伽士與貴族們合力激盪出的成果。西藏僧侶與瑜伽士翻譯了大量的印度佛教典籍。他們運用這些密續佛教的文獻與修持法為基礎，重塑西藏宗教、文化與政治體制。最終促成了西藏佛教的崛起，乃至取代印度，成為全亞洲的佛教文化中心。作者生動地描繪了這些現身歷史舞台的人物，引領讀者觀看一群宗教菁英與權貴之士，如何打造出一個佛教文化世界，徹底地改變了西藏社會與文化的發展方向，鮮活地呈現了中世紀西藏發展的內在張力與轉型過程。
