0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very informative; full of fascinating Tibetan lore.By Padma TurnbergThis book is one of those treasures that only comes along infrequently. Well written; deeply researched; filled with historical facts; it's a learning process and an interesting read. I heartily recommend it to all who are interested in the history of Tibetan Buddhism or in learning more about the Tibetan hierarchy -- or to those just looking for an interesting Buddhist book to read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A readable history; but...By Bruce MilesI wish there was a bit more depth in this volume. I compare it with Glenn Mullin's The Fourteen Dalai Lamas; which had more historical depth. However; as a student of Tibetology with a glaring hole in my understanding of the Karmapas; this volume is a good starting point.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. a favorite of mineBy Eric G Weinberga favorite of mine. I have read it cover to cover and grazed through individual chapters. This works both ways.
