Tibetan Buddhism and Mystical Experience

Zusatztext It is hard to write about mystical experience. One must talk about the ineffable and confront a complex debate regarding the possibility of doing so. It is also hard to write about Tibetan literature on non-conceptual experience and direct realization. It requires sophisticated philological skills and mastery of a difficult literature. Komarovski succeeds admirably in these tasks, explaining Tibetan debates regarding unmediated experience with great clarity, in conversation with contemporary theory. Informationen zum Autor Yaroslav Komarovski is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Klappentext This book argues that the Tibetan Buddhist interpretation of the realization of ultimate reality both resembles and challenges contemporary interpretations of unmediated mystical experience. Zusammenfassung This book argues that the Tibetan Buddhist interpretation of the realization of ultimate reality both resembles and challenges contemporary interpretations of unmediated mystical experience.
