Description

The book is a study of the so-called school of gTsang smyon, i.e. the religious community that had formed around the Tibetan master gTsang smyon Heruka (1452-1507). Taking into account a comprehensive number of historical sources, the religious and political context of the time is examined and traced back to the generation of the students. The entire literary production of this movement is presented extensively and special attention is paid to the listening tradition of Ras chung pa (ras chung snyan brgyud). A detailed catalog describes over 80 editions of the works that the school produced in the form of block prints in the 16th century; It offers the most comprehensive overview of the production of xylographs to date, along with a substantial corpus for studying the history of the book in Tibet.
