Tibetan Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction
Matthew Kapstein
What does Tibetan Buddhism teach? Just what is the position of the Dalai Lama, and how will his succession be assured? This Very Short Introduction offers a brief account responding to these questions and more, in terms that are easily accessible to those who are curious to learn the most essential features of Tibetan Buddhist history, teachings, and practice.
Tibetan Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction provides the essential features of Tibetan Buddhist history, teachings, and practice. The Tibetan Buddhist tradition has known over thirteen centuries of continuous development. During that time, it has spread among the neighbouring peoples – the Mongol, Himalayan, and Siberian peoples, Manchus and Chinese – and is now also practised in Europe and America.
This VSI considers what this religion teaches; the position of the religious leader, the Dalai Lama, and how his succession will be assured; and political contestation and suppression of Tibetan Buddhism in China.
