Summary

'Reincarnation in Tibetan Buddhism' examines how the third Karmapa hierarch, Rangjung Dorjé (1284-1339) transformed Buddhist belief about reincarnation into a Tibetan institution based on lineage. It surveys his life through the portal of his previously untranslated autobiographical stories and songs, which reveal the rudiments of the reincarnation tradition.--, Provided by publisher
