DOC The Perception of the Elements in the Hindu Tradition: La perception des elements dans les traditions hindoues by From Peter Lang AG; Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften in History

Description

Writers on the political history of India find themselves obliged to take note of Taranatha's History; no less than those writing the history of Indian literature and Indian logic; not to speak of the investigators of the history of Buddhism itself. This English translation of Taranatha's History of Buddhism in India belongs; indeed; to the class of finest translations of Tibetan works in English. The age-old tradition of Tibetan translation of treatises with one Pandit of the source language and one translator of the destination language and a third person for checking and editing has been faithfully preserved in the preparation of this work. The present edition of the work has the additional attraction of carrying a Foreword to it by an eminent Tibeto-logist Professor S. Rinpoche; Director of the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies; Samath; Varanasi.
