Buddhism in Tibet
22 chapters English Public domain
About this book
This mid-19th Century work is one of the few public domain descriptions of Tibetan Buddhism we have found. Desipte the sketchy knowledge of Buddhism in Europe at the time, this has a surprising level of detail about the subject, due to the pioneering field work of the authors' brothers. Some of the information in this book about sacred documents, divination methods, calendrical systems, as well as details of rituals and ritual objects is unique.
