"The subject of this volume, the Tibetan (treasure revealer) Gshen-chen Kludga', is a crucial figure in the development of Bon as an organised religion after the eleventh century. Here for the first time he is situated in the context of what was happening in Buddhism during this period. By scruitining his life and gter-ma (treasures), that were to be of much controversy in later ages, the author sheds light on the mechanism of Tibetan polemical tradition and the ways in which sectarianism accords itself legitimacy by resurrecting ancient arguments in a subtly distorted manner.
