The Buddhist Dead: Practices, Discourses, Representations
ISBN: 9780824830311 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In its teachings, practices, and institutions, Buddhism in its varied Asian forms has been--and continues to be--centrally concerned with death and the dead. Yet surprisingly "death in Buddhism" has received little sustained scholarly attention. The Buddhist Dead offers the first comparative investigation of this topic across the major Buddhist cultures of India, Sri Lanka, China, Japan, Tibet, and Burma.

An essential sacred text of Tibetan Buddhism, "The All-Pervading Melodious Drumbeat "tells the wondrous story of Ra Lotsawa Dorje Drak. Though he was canonized as a saint and a fully enlightened buddha, the eleventh-century Ra Lotsawa s life story presents a darker path than those taken by Siddhartha Gautama and Milarepa. Viewed by some as a murderous villain and by others as a liberator of human suffering, Ra Lotsawa used his formidable power and magical abilities to defeat his rivals,...
