Atisa and Tibet: Life and Works of Dipamkara Srijana in relation to the History and Religion of Tibet with Tibetan Sources

The book opens with a full account of the baffling personality of the great Bengali Pandit Atisa or Dipamkara Srijana, the greatest of the teacher reformers of Tibetan Buddhism. The author proceeds to portray the Tibetan background of early Buddhism and gives an account of the early history of Tibet and Indo Tibetan connections, together with a study of Buddhism in Tibet from the seventh century onwards right down to the time of Atisa in the eleventh century A. D. The book is provided with an extremely valuable and illuminating set of Appendices sufficiently important to be worth describing in some detail
