Book Summary
The (rNying ma'i rgyud'bum) contains many of the oldest examples of Tantric literature in Tibetan. It also contains many of the most important examples of Buddhist Tantric literature surviving in any language. Its contribution to Tibetan religion and culture over the last 1,200 years has been incalculable, and remains undiminished today. In this work, Cantwell and Mayer have begun the immense task of restoring these wonderful texts to their original form through textual criticism.
