Luminous Lives is the first in-depth study of the literature and history of the Lam 'bras in Tibet. The central focus of the work is a rare Tibetan history that brings alive the story of the earliest men and women practitioners of the Lam 'bras. This text, recording the words of the great Sakya Pandita (1182 - 1251), was a major source for all later histories of the tradition. Recently rediscovered, it has been reproduced here along with Cyrus Stearns' excellent translation, introduction, and annotations. Luminous Lives opens a window into the world of one of the great traditions of tantric Buddhism in Tibet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eShips from Vermont\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51866524221728,"sku":"NEW0861713079","price":34.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71iiDDCnhQL.jpg?v=1781678395","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/luminous-lives-the-story-of-the-early-masters-of-the-lam-bras-in-tibet-studies-in-indian-and-tibetan-buddhism-0861713079","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
