Brill's Tibetan Studies Library Early Tibetan Religious Networks: New Perspectives on the Phyi Dar, Book 60, (Hardcover)

Are the Kadampas and the Kagyüpas really that different? When and how did Buddhist school identities emerge? Why did some esoteric lineages flourish while others disappeared? How did objects and ideas circulate at the fringes of the Tibetan plateau? <br>These are some of the questions explored in this book. Drawing on early Tibetan sources, it takes a fresh look at the seminal period of the "later dissemination" of Buddhism in Tibet, with a focus on the 10th-13th centuries. What emerges is a vivid picture of dynamic personal and institutional networks that would shape Tibetan Buddhism for centuries to come.<br> With contributions by Filippo Brambilla, Volker Caumanns, Bryan Cuevas, Cécile Ducher, Haoran Hou, Pascale Hugon, Reinier Langelaar, Yannick Laurent, Ulrike Roesler, Marta Sernesi, Kirill Solonin, and Roberto Vitali.
