Description About the author Contents
 
Apparitions of the Self is a groundbreaking investigation into what is known in Tibetan as "secret biography," an exceptional, rarely studied literary genre that presents a personal exploration of intimate religious experiences. In this volume Janet Gyatso focuses on the outstanding pair of secret biographies by the famed Tibetan visionary, Jigme Lingpa (1730-1798), whose poetic and self-conscious writings are as much about the nature of his own identity, memory and the undecidabilities of autobiographical truth as they are narrations of the actual content of his experiences.
