DESCRIPTION

Tibetan Buddhism derives form the confluence of Buddhism and yoga which started to arrive in Tibet from India briefly around the late eighth century and then more steadily form the thirteenth century onwards. Indian Buddhism around that time had incorporated both Hindu yogic and tantric practices along with the classical teachings of the historical Buddha who lived around 500 BC. It acknowledge that there were two paths to enlightenment (complete transcendence of identification with the personal ego). One path was that taught in the Sutras according to the historical teachings. The heart of Sutra practice was based on morality, concentration and wisdom. The other path, which has become the cornerstone of Tibetan variations, was tantric. This practice blended the sutra teachings with techniques adapted from Hindu systems of yoga and tantra. Hinayana and Mahayana are two schools of Buddhist practice that have basically similar goals and techniques but somewhat differing philosophies. For instance, Theravadin Buddhism is a Hinayana teaching and Zen Buddhism is a Mahayana teaching. It is very much like trying to deal with a wide horse charging towards you. One-way is denial: put up your hands and shout out, stop, stop! Prabably the animal will bowl you over. Another, more clever, approach is to step aside and then jump on its back as it charges past you. Volumes of the present book deal the teachings of Buddha from the purest available sources i.e. Buddhism in Tibet.
