The Life and Teachings of Naropa

The Life and Teachings of Naropa

von Guenther, Herbert V.

Available again is the classic biography of the Indian yogi Naropa who was one of the fathers of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.

In the history of Tibetan Buddhism, the eleventh century Indian master Naropa occupies an unusual position, for his life and teachings mark both the end of a long tradition and the beginning of a new and rich era in Buddhist thought. Naropa's biography, translated here by the Western scholar Herbert Guenther, describes with great psychological insight the spiritual development of this great master. The book also includes a detailed analysis of his teaching in relation to tantric Buddhism.

Highly recommended
