Yael Bentor Tibetan Meditation Hardcover | sku-5200879065

Yael Bentor, sku-5200879065, is listed under Religion & Religious Studies Books. This hardcover presents Bentor's translation of a fourteenth-century treatise by Tsongkhapa Lobzang Drakpa on Tibetan Buddhist sādhana, along with her introduction and commentary.

Sādhana, translated here as "realization," is a form of meditation in which practitioners visualize an awakened being in place of their ordinary identity and surroundings, with the aim of transforming into that being. Tsongkhapa was a monk, philosopher and tantric yogi whose activities led to the formation of one of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

His treatise links tantric practice with cosmogony and the life cycle of a practicing yogi. Bentor's commentary traces the work's reception through history and discusses its relevance today.
