Guenther, outstanding pioneer in Tibetan Buddhist studies, written at the height of his long and distinguished career. Readable, filled with knowledge amassed by a scholar ahead of his time, these writings still rank among the most penetrating Western investigations of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
