How was Buddhism spread to Tibet? How did Tibetan Buddhism evolve and assimilate with Tibetan’s native and animistic beliefs?
Is Tibetan Buddhism now the purest of all schools of Buddhism due to the isolation of Tibet from the rest of the world?
What was the relationship between Tibetan Buddhism and the Ching dynasty emperors? Why did Emperor Chien Lung start the practice of selecting a reincarnated lama by way of drawing lots from a golden urn?
How and why did the concept of reincarnation of a lama, which is unique to Tibet, start in Tibet?
These excellent 5 books cover all these topics. Four books were bought by me from Amazon UK in my recent July 2o24 two trips to London and one from Kinokuniya at Central, Bangkok.
