TIBETAN RELIGOUS DANCES. Tibetan text and annotated translation of the chams yig.

New Delhi, Paljor Publications, 1997. 1st Indian reprint 320 pp. cloth / linen gilt titles with dustjacket. Edited by Christoph von Furer-Haimendorf, and an appendIx by Walter Graf. This unique work provides invaluable material related to the Tibetan Sacred Dances, which have met their doom with the destruction of monastic life in Tibet. During several periods of his field work in the Himalayas the author had studied these Buddhist temple dances. He brought to their description his expert knowledge of Tibetan iconography and ritual. Of particular interest is the translation of the Tibetan texts containing detailed instructions for the performances of the dances. The existence of such choreographical manuals explains the uniformity in the performance of temple dances and the persistence of an unchanging tradition over long periods. Dustjacket shows minor edgewear. Otherwise very nice and clean copy.

BONPO DZOGCHEN TEACHINGS ACCORDING TO LOPON TENZIN NAMDAK.

Kathmandu, Vajra Publications, 2006. 1st edition 268 pp. Pb. Nowadays there are two principal philosophical traditions followed by Tibetan Lamas. The first is found among the Sarmapas, or Newer Schools, which employ the Prasangika Madhyamaka view of Chandrakirti, not only in explicating the real meaning of the Sutra system but also in their interpretation of the Tantras. The second is found among the two Older Schools, the Nyingmapa and the Bonpo, which emphasize the Dzogchen point of view in elucidating their understanding of the Higher Tantras. According to Lopon Tenzin Namdak Yongdzin Rinpoche, the leading Dzogchen master among the Bonpo Lamas living today, It is necessary for us as practitioners to know what Dzogchen is, how to practice it, and the result of this practice. Lopon Rinpoche undertakes this task in a series of nine teachings he gave some years ago to Western students interested in the view of Dzogchen and its practice in meditation. condition as new

THREE-VOW THEORIES IN TIBETAN BUDDHISM. A Comparative Study of Major Traditions from the Twelfth through Nineteenth Centuries.

Wiesbaden, Dr Ludwig Reichert Verlag, 2002. 1st edition 575 pp. cloth hardcover. Series: Contributions to Tibetan Studies vol. 1. Since the 12th century, a central feature of Buddhism in Tibet was its harmonizing of tantric practice with the moral codes of monastic discipline and Bodhisattva altruism. All masters maintained the vajrayana or tantric path to be superior to the two lower codes, but they described this superiority differently. In the present study, Jan-Ulrich Sobisch explores for the first time in detail the three main strategies maintained by the oldest Tibetan schools for explaining the relations of the three codes. near fine condition
