The Tantric Distinction: A Buddhist's Reflections on Compassion and Emptiness

by Jeffrey Hopkins

The Tantric Distinction: A Buddhist's Reflections on Compassion and Emptiness Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Widely recognized as one of the West's leading scholars of Tibetan Buddhism, Professor Jeffrey Hopkins is renowned for his textual translations and original scholarship. For ten years he served as the principal English translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama. "The Tantric Distinction" is his effort to make accessible the complexities of this highly sophisticated philosophy by sharing his personal, individual experience with Buddhist thought and practice, laying out the entire Buddhist path as a living experience.

Synopsis:

After publishing over twenty books — mostly translations of Buddhist texts — Prof. Jeffrey Hopkins felt compelled to write a personal account of Buddhism and its practices. In The Tantric Distinction, the ideas, concepts and methods of Buddhism are "confronted and allowed to resonate with (his) own character."

Hopkins has the ability to clarify complicated ideas and bring them to life. He cuts through the theories of Buddhism and brings them vividly into the realm of experience. Explaining emptiness, gurus, meditation, the cherishing of others, and the Bodhisattva ideal, Hopkins shows how the mind is addicted to the lies that the senses tell it, and describes the process of cutting through this craziness Buddhists call 'cyclic existence.'

Synopsis:

In The Tantric Distinction, the ideas, concepts and methods of Buddhism are confronted and allowed to resonate with [his] own character.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 159-166) and index.
