Despite its burgeoning influence, few people truly understand the core beliefs, traditions, and movements of Tibetan Buddhism. Robert Thurman, professor of Indo-Tibetan studies at Columbia University and the first American Tibetan Buddhist monk, has assembled the first guide to Tibetan Buddhism that introduces the distinctive Tibetan practice through its own rich literature. Winner of the Tricycle Prize for Excellence, this book includes excerpts from The Book of the Dead along with many other scriptures.

Essential Tibetan Buddhism is a part of the Essential series, beautifully packaged works edited by leading authorities, that feature the core texts of major religious traditions in definitive translations.

Robert A.F. Thurman, the Jey Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Studies at Columbia University, "is a prolific translator and writer, a powerful advocate for the liberation of Tibet and the Dalai Lama's cultural liaison to America" (New York Times Magazine). His books include a new translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead and Inside Tibetan Buddhism.

" Robert A.F. Thurman is] the most visible and charismatic exponent of Tibetan Buddhism."

- Rodger Kamenetz, New York Times Magazine

Thumbs up on this one
Color: Khaki, Size: X-Large
Very nice soft material that seems like it will be easy to clean and pack without wrinkling. A bit heavier for cooler mornings and so nice it has pockets. Nice pullover.

Nice, but not as nice as I'd hoped and the shoulders are too tight
Color: A-black, Size: Large
This is nice, but not as nice as it looked in the pictures. Still very good value for the price. It's a medium-heavy weight Q-zip that looks good, but the pics online were much nicer looking. It's comfortable and warm, but just ok overall. I like that the collar is on the taller side assuming I would wear it golfing in cooler weather, but the pockets are kind of shallow. It fits well overall, but the dealbreaker for me is that the shoulders are tight with a Large size. I could wear this out casually, but I don't think I could swing a golf club. I am 5'10" and "husky" in my old age and my shoulders are probably on the broader side, but the rest fits well so I was surprised how snug the shoulders were.
