CHANDRA, Lokesh

Bu-ston (1290-1364 AD) is one of the greatest representatives of Tibetan thought; there is scarcely a branch of the sacred disciplines that he did not cultivate, and the entire spiritual tradition which was transmitted to Tibet was systematically arranged, discussed and sifted by him. He covered the entire field of Buddhism, from tantrism to logic, from dogmatics proper to grammar and rhetoric. Some of his works are important for the history of Lamaist art and iconography: the same is true of him in every other field. Prof. Lokesh Chandra (°1927) is a renowned scholar of Tibetan, Mongolian and Sino-Japanese Buddhism, he is the son of eminent Indologist Prof. Raghu Vira. Please ask for a shipping quote
