Description
This significant scholarly work presents Bu-Ston’s Chos-hbyung, a foundational text in Buddhist historical literature. Part I, ‘The Jewelry of Scripture,’ examines Buddhist scriptural traditions and their development, while Part II provides a detailed historical account of Buddhism’s evolution in India and its subsequent transmission to Tibet.
Translated by the renowned scholar E. Obermiller, this two-volume set offers invaluable insights into Buddhist philosophy, monastic traditions, and the complex historical relationship between Indian and Tibetan Buddhism. The work serves as an essential resource for scholars, students, and practitioners seeking to understand the doctrinal and institutional history of Buddhism across two major civilizations.
Published by Gyan Publishing House, this edition makes this classical Buddhist text accessible to English-speaking audiences while maintaining scholarly rigor and authenticity.
