Enlightened Rainbows No. 18 - The Life and Works of Shardza Tashi Gyeltsen

Informationen zum Autor Jean-Luc Achard , Ph.D. in Religious Sciences, Sorbonne, Paris, is a researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Paris. He has published several studies and translations of Dzogchen and Bonpo texts, including Bon po Hidden Treasures (Brill, 2004). Klappentext Shardza Tashi Gyeltsen (1859-1934) is one of the most important luminaries of the Bon tradition of Tibet and certainly the most striking recent master of the teachings of the "Great Perfection." Throughout his life, he applied the principles of the "Great Perfection" in numerous isolated retreats and perfected both spiritual realization and scholarly erudition. His works have nowadays become immensely important references for the modern Bon tradition, even if, for some lineage holders of this Tibetan school, he is best associated with the movement known as "New Bon." This widely diffused view, however, is wrong as is clearly shown by the analysis of Shardza Rinpoche's Collected Works in the present volume.
