Kuan-Yin: The Chinese Transformation of Avalokitesvara
ISBN: 9780231120296 / Angielski / Miękka / 688 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By far one of the most important objects of worship in the Buddhist traditions, the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is regarded as the embodiment of compassion. He has been widely revered throughout the Buddhist countries of Asia since the early centuries of the Common Era.

The causes and processes of this metamorphosis have...

Indian Esoteric Buddhism: A Social History of the Tantric Movement
ISBN: 9780231126182 / Angielski / Twarda / 475 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite the rapid spread of Buddhism--especially the esoteric system of Tantra, one of its most popular yet most misunderstood forms--the historical origins of Buddhist thought and practice remain obscure.

Drawing on primary documents--many translated for the first time--from Sanskrit, Prakrit, Tibetan, Bengali, and Chinese, Ronald Davidson shows how changes in medieval Indian society,...
