H. the Dalai Lama is an assembly of essays by twenty-five expert scholars of tantric studies, compiled to celebrate the current Dalai Lama's long connection with the Kalacakra ("Wheel of Time") Tantra, a tradition of Buddhist theory and practice that spans the gamut from observations of the universe to matters of meditative states and the body's vital energies. Individual writings present include "Palden Lhamo: Supreme Guardian Goddess of the Dalai Lama", "The Six Vajra-Yogas of Kalacakra", "Medicine and Astrology in the Healing Arts of the Kalacakratantra", "Demon Diseases and Tibetan Medicine: The Interface Between Religion and Science", and many more. An astutely philosophical text, ideal for advanced students, researchers, or practitioners of Buddhism, As Long As Space Endures also features practical advice for Western students directly from modern-day Tibetan Kalacakra masters. Highly recommended as a worthy addition to Buddhist studies shelves. |
