Coming in 2009

There is a high level of interest in Buddhism, and Tibetan Buddhism is at present the most widely encountered and generally known Buddhist tradition in the UK, USA and other English-speaking countries

Many students have encountered Tibetan Buddhism through meditation groups, through the Dalai Lama’s extensive presence in the media, or through popular literature and cinema. This book has been designed to provide an entry-point to the wider literature on Tibetan Buddhism for readers who wish to take their studies further, and provides a comprehensive introduction to Tibetan Buddhism (including the Tibetan Bon religion). While the book should be useable as a reference within an introductory undergraduate core course, its primary function is as the basis of an upper-level undergraduate option or module.
