Hardcover. Condition: As New. The Tibetan Manuscripts have reached India in various ways. Csoma-de-Koros, Rai Bahadur Sarat Chandra Das and others went to Tibet and brought a huge number of Tibetan Manuscripts with them. These are deposited in different repositories of India like The Asiatic Society, Calcutta University and some other places. The Tibetan Manuscript is commonly known as Kan-gyur, the canon and Tan-gyur, the commentaries. The present catalogue has a number of miscellaneous texts dealing with different interesting topics. In this collection a large number of texts deal with religion, prayer and life stories of the eminent Tibetan scholars. This indigenous catalogue focuses on commentaries, rituals, sadhanas etc. It would be a great help for further academic endeavours and also for general readers interested in the field of the study.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The book "Padmavajra", an important treatise based on the Buddhist Tantric tradition, is primarily centred on the works of the Acarya Padmavajra in the Vajrayana (Tantrayana) tradition, especially his commentary titled Tantraryavatara-ika.Philosophical SignificanceThis work presents both the Path of Knowledge (jnana-marga) and the Path of Means (upaya-marga) in Buddhist Tantra from a balanced perspective. It explains the dualities of emptiness (sunyata) and compassion (karua), wisdom (prajna) and skilful means (upaya), as well as equality (samata) and discernment (viveka) in their non-dual (advaya) form.The discussion of Apabhrasa Buddhist literature in the book also makes it clear that Buddhist Tantric practice was not limited only to Sanskrit texts; rather, it spread widely in vernacular languages as well.This work by Prof. Suniti Kumar Pathak connects the philosophical, linguistic, and practical dimensions of Indian Buddhist Tantric literature. Through a comparative study of Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Apabhrasa sources, he has demonstrated that the tradition of Padmavajra represents a supreme example in Buddhist Tantric thought of the non-dual synthesis of Wisdom (Prajna) and Compassion (Karua).
