Ringu Tulku : THE RI-ME PHILOSOPHY OF JAMGON KONGTRUL THE GREAT
Jamgon Kongtrul the Great (1813-1899) is renowned not only for his scholarly and spiritual achievements, but also for his energetic and evenhanded efforts to unify and strengthen the different lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. This lucid survey of the Rime movement includes the history and philosophy of the movement; a biography of meditation master Jamgon Kongtrul; and summaries of the major lineages' histories, practices, and views.
"For those interested in the history of Buddhism as it was transmitted in Tibet, this history of the Ri-me movement, biography of Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, and history of the lineages in invaluable."--Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche
"This is a marvelous survey of Tibetan Buddhism and the development of the Ri-me approach in the nineteenth century. Ringu Tulku writes with the authority of an insider. This is a must-read for all scholars and students, both Tibetan and Western."--E. Gene Smith, Tibetan Buddhist Resource Center at the Rubin Art Museum
"A seminal work from one of the great masters of Tibetan scholarship. With clarity, sophistication, and historical depth, Ringu Tulku outlines Ri-me, the most important Tibetan philosophy of the past two centuries, the guiding force throughout the practice traditions of Tibetan Buddhism."--Reginald A. Ray, author of Indestructible Truth and Secret of the Vajra World
