Originally published in 1997, Religions of Tibet in Practice is a landmark work—the first major anthology on the topic ever produced. This new edition—abridged to further facilitate course use—presents a stunning array of works that together offer an unparalleled view of the Tibetan religious landscape over the centuries.
Organized thematically, the twenty-eight chapters are testimony to the vast scope of religious practice in the Tibetan world, past and present. Religions of Tibet in Practice remains a work of great value to scholars, students, and general readers.
Donald S. Lopez Jr., is Arthur E. Link Distinguished University Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies at the University of Michigan. He is the editor of three other volumes in this series: Buddhism in Practice, Religions of India in Practice, and Religions of China in Practice.
