Tibetan Buddhism
in Western Perspective

A scholar’s freshest insights are often expressed in articles that seldom reach beyond a small circle of peers. Here, gathered for the benefit of everyone interested in Tibetan Buddhism, are ten articles by Dr. Herbert V. Guenther, outstanding pioneer in Tibetan Buddhist studies, written at the height of his long and distinguished career. Readable, filled with knowledge amassed by a scholar ahead of his time, these writings still rank among the most penetrating Western investigations of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
